Youtube Superstar - Gabe Bondoc

Almost a year from now, I fell in love with a man I knew in a web world. Not in the momentum that I was romantically in loved, but I was totally blown away by this man’s music. His songs awaken my inert passion for good music. His talent is exceptionally incomparable and his charm and voice can literally ruin someone else’s relationship. Who wouldn’t be in love with this man – Gabe Bondoc.

Gabe Bondoc is an indie – pop/acoustic artist based on San Mateo, California. He rose to fame through his acoustic sessions covering famous songs with his guitar companion. To those who know him you might not be surprise that he is a Filipino. Yes, a full blooded Filipino grew up in the US. He is best known for his One Take Sessions on Youtube has gained attention with his unique song writing skills. He gained a lot of attention with his laid-back attitude, smooth voice and amazing guitar skills. With this extra talented dude, even country superstar Taylor Swift became a fan when he completely revised her popular hit called "Love Story" and re-wrote it in the male's perspective.



Since then, he had a lot of performances all over the west coast More so he has already released two EPs, "gentlemen do not" 2006 and "Hello, my name is Gabe" 2007. 2010 Gabe released his first album called the "Summertime LP" featuring full-length recordings of some of his own songs.
