Gaby Aparicio

Latin Soul, Good Vibes & Mucho Amor

Meet Gaby Aparicio: Award-winning singer/songwriter and San Diego Music Award nominee. Inspired by her coastal Uruguayan and Italian heritage, Gaby blends cultural sounds into her music, creating a unique blend of pop, Latin, world, reggae, and soul.

A transplant from Orlando, Florida she traded one coast for another and moved to San Diego, California in 2014. Gaby has become a prominent figure in the live music scene, captivating audiences with her signature fusion sound. She and her band, La Buena Onda, have graced iconic local venues and festivals like Music Box, Adams Avenue Street Fair & Unplugged Festivals, and Chicano Park Day.

Gaby's musical journey includes notable performances such as singing the national anthem for the NBA's Orlando Magic and showcases at Gibson and Sony Music Studios in New York City. She's also had the privilege of opening for Latin Grammy© winners Monsieur Periné, Poncho Sanchez and La Santa Cecilia, and Latin Grammy© nominee Mexican folk/reggae artist Caloncho. She was a featured Taylor Guitar player in the February 2020 Wood&Steel publication, as well as at the Taylor Guitar booth at the 2020 NAMM Show. She was also featured as an official QSC Audio endorsed artist in their YouTube TouchMix Sessions in conjunction with the Ursa Polaris Sessions.

Accolades are not new to Gaby, who has won the Cari Cole's Signature Songwriting Circle Contest twice and the West Coast International Song Contest in 2018. However, her mission remains humble: to inspire through positive vibrations and love.

Discover the world of Gaby Aparicio, where music transcends boundaries, and culture finds a harmonious home.
