Yuri Gabe is a Brazilian singer and songwriter from São Paulo. His parents were musicians, and he grew up listening to samba and bossa nova, with artists like Elis Regina and Chico Buarque among his early influences. In 2016, he released his debut single 'Aquecendo Com Yuri Gabe,' which found an audience and led to his first album, 'Navegando,' the following year.
His music pulls from those Brazilian styles along with R&B, with songs like 'O Novinho Até Suou' and 'Hita Essa Raba' built around danceable rhythms and his soulful voice. He has worked with musicians like Zeca Baleiro and Hamilton de Holanda, and his band typically includes guitarists, bassists, drummers, and percussionists.
He has also drawn criticism at times for his views on social and political issues, which he has addressed through his music. He released albums in 2019 ('Encontros') and 2021 ('Caminhos').
