Ismael Gabasau

Ismael Gabasau, singer-songwriter and optimistic painter, released his debut EP "The Art of Seeing Through". The nature of his writing follows the trail of memories and emotions that are influenced by Jazz, Bossanova, and Funk. He crafts songs that depict his outlook on life, his admiration for nature, his affection for loved ones, and his value for liberty.

Ismael wrote his first song "Sour and Sweet" while he was painting a copper butterfly on a blue background. Initially, he had no intention of writing a song, as the painting was his medium of choice to convey the sorrow and confusion he felt after losing his uncle during the pandemic. However, upon completing the painting, the phrase "Life... life... life..." popped into his head and evolved into a melody. He then proceeded to pen lyrics that spoke of his resilience in overcoming life's challenges and finding joy amidst pain.

For Ismael, painting provides an avenue for introspection, as the blank canvas invites him to confront difficult questions that lead to self-awareness. This reflective process allows him to merge his emotions and memories with the melodies in his mind, thereby creating a seamless blend of art forms.

"The Art of Seeing Through" was produced in collaboration with artists from different countries, such as Australia, Brazil, India, and Mexico, and is now available on all streaming platforms.
