Gabriel Chakarji is a Latin Grammy Award nominee pianist and composer who merges the influences of his Venezuelan musical backgrounds with a New York city Jazz sound. Originally from Caracas Venezuela, he grew up in a multicultural environment full of music that expands from afro-Venezuelan Folk, Caribbean, Brazilian music to Jazz and Gospel. Gabriel began studying classical piano at the age of nine. In his teens, he took part of the Simon Bolívar Jazz Big Band touring with this orchestra to New York and Boston in 2011. His experience, versatility, and passion made him one of the most sought after pianists in his country. His participation in the Album "Tiempo" of Linda Briceño earned him a nomination for the Latin Grammy Awards in 2013.
At age 21 Gabriel moved to New York with a full scholarship to study at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music under the guidance of great masters of jazz and improvised music. In 2016 he released his first album “Vida” the first step on his musical journey of bringing multiple music styles from South and North America together. He has appeared at recognized venues like The Blue Note, where he played duo with Gadi Lehavi after Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock’s duo set.
Currently working on his Trio project, Gabriel finished a successful tour in Europe this March to prepare for the upcoming album. His compositions and playing are rooted in social justice and multiculturalism.
