Presentation, Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary Club Breakfast Meeting: “Entertainment and Healing Through the Arts”, with Gabriel Angelo.

Gabriel


Angelo MasterBlaster G is a 15 year old entertainer who, as an actor, model,


MC, singer, trumpeteer and tap dancer, seeks to bring healing to the world


through the arts. His musical career began with drum lessons at


Shiloh Conservatory founded by Pastor Marion Overall, in Oakland, CA. He went



on to begin piano lessons with Mr. Wendell Dotson, at 6 years old, but on the


first day came back to his mother with a trumpet, having fallen in love with it


as he explains. His passion to perform for others was greatly encouraged by


playing for adult choir rehearsal, also run by Pastor Marion Overall and her


husband, Roy Overall. Pastor Roy Overall, himself a successful senior


entrepreneur in his seventies, encouraged Gabriel in entrepreneurship. Always having the desire to perform for an


audience with more frequency than his recitals, he found a niche in San


Francisco's welcoming arts culture and ultimately developed his public career


there, starting with his first public outdoor performance the day before


his tenth birthday. The San Francisco community, as well as a national and


international one, have provided a great deal of encouragement for his



continued development. While the old standards, like Moonriver have been



his focus, he enjoys performing modern hits as well. A painful breakup gave him the


inspiration to sing, serving as his personal therapy. With vocals added to his


repertoire, Gabriel has found a new level of passion in his career, striving to


encourage others in the pursuit of true love, in every area of life.Gabriel resides in Berkeley, CA.


He finds his greatest passion in seeing people, educated and rehabilitated,


mentally and physically. Spending time with his family, including his


girlfriend, Shania, is his greatest priority.He is currently working on his own album to be released


by the end of this year as well as a feature film set in the 1920s that deals


with the painful effects of gangster control. Gabriel has performed for a number


of audiences throughout California. Join us and be entertained! Contact us at www.lamorindasunriserotary.com
