Hi there! I’m Gabriel Martínez, coming to you from 'llama-land'! After working with multiple local artists, I’ve set myself a new challenge: selling my original songs on SoundBetter. I’m excited to collaborate with talented creatives as a songwriter.
As an independent artist, I’ve reached over 800 monthly listeners within the first three months on Spotify, successfully building a loyal audience in the early stages of my career.
My debut single, 'Mi Negrita,' was selected for the 46th volume of Ditto Discovered, highlighting my dedication to my craft.
I take my time with every song to ensure each client is satisfied. I’m versatile and can adapt my style to fit the client’s vision for the song.
I work in Ableton Live and provide high-quality demos of songs.
I typically deliver projects within 7 business days, but I’m open to arranging a rushed delivery if needed.
