Gaby Music

Gaby Music, born Juan Gabriel Rivera Vázquez in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is a name that carries weight in the world of reggaeton and Latin music. Emerging from the vibrant backdrop of San Juan in 1989, Gaby’s journey unfolded amid a backdrop of sound and rhythm. Though he began his writing career in earnest as a teenager, the trajectory toward prominence crystallized around 2013 when he began collaborating with the duo Wisin & Yandel. It was a leap into a world where the pulse of the city became the beat of his life.

Collaboration seems to be a cornerstone of his success, underscored by his involvement in projects with giants like Ozuna and Daddy Yankee. Gaby’s songwriting credits for tracks such as “Ahora Dice” and his production on hits like “La Rompe Corazones” illuminate a consistent presence in the ever-evolving soundscape of Latin music. He probably felt the weight of expectation in 2019 when he won the Billboard Latin Music Award for Songwriter of the Year, a capstone to the years of crafting melodies and lyrics for the industry’s heavyweights.

Yet amidst this torrent of accolades and collaborations, fragments of his ambition shine through. The creation of La Familia Records in 2021 with Chris Jedi marked a new chapter—a desire to shape the next generation of artists, perhaps. Gaby’s role as a producer and songwriter on tracks for emerging stars and established musicians like Bad Bunny reveals both his versatility and a willingness to embrace the messy, collaborative spirit of music-making.

His discography continues to grow, with singles like “No Te Quieren Conmigo” emerging as an example of his ongoing evolution. As Gaby Music moves forward, perhaps he is driven by an inner sense of what awaits him beyond the notes, leaving a sense of curiosity lingering in the air—what new sounds will he produce?
