Gabe Saporta

Gabriel Eduardo Gabe Saporta is an UruguayanAmerican musician and entrepreneur. Through late 2015, he was a singer and the primary creative force behind the electronic pop group Cobra Starship. On November 10, 2015, after nearly ten years and two Billboard Hot 100 tophits, Gabe announced that the band would stop its work, and that he would be focussing on helping other musicians through his new venture, The Artist Group. Prior to Cobra Starship, Saporta had been the lead singer, bassist, and lyricist for the punk band Midtown.

Gabe Saporta was born in Montevideo, Uruguay. When he was four years old, he moved with his parents to New York City. At an early age, Gabe developed a passion for music, which became his escape and salvation from a tumultuous upbringing. Saporta fell in love with music because of its ability to deliver messages and connect people. His first love was hip hop, but soon after he discovered punk rock and started going to shows to see bands such as Gorilla Biscuits, Fugazi and Pavement. It wasnt long before Saporta, along with his brother Ricky, started to put on his own shows and put out his own records.
