Mini Bio
Composer, multi-instrumentalist, and arranger Gabriel de Leon has always been considered to be one of the brightest Malaysian musicians around. Now based in Los Angeles, he has had experience in performance, production, composition and arranging. He has incorporated all the elements of his musical experience to make him a Swiss army knife in the music industry, writing music for film, video games and TV, as well as performing on the big stage.
The variety in his work has led to numerous opportunities in all corners of the music industry. He has performed and recorded with numerous jazz, rock and classical artists around the globe (David Fiuczynski, Tony Succar, Arnie Roth). Gabriel’s passion in composition roots in orchestral compositions (namely Tchaikovsky’s Pathéthique Symphony), and since he is primarily a drummer, includes captivating rhythms in the mix. The diversity in his portfolio has allowed him to offer something unique and fresh to the industry.
Since graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, he has had original compositions and productions played on radio and on TV ranging from his native Malaysia (Hitz.fm) to Germany (DMAX). For various concerts during his time in college, he has arranged music for different genres for a wide collection of ensembles, including pop, electronic, samba, salsa and rock. He also currently writes for production libraries, Droid Mafia (Boston, MA) and Endless Noise (Santa Monica, CA).
