Gabriel Richards

Gabriel Richards is an alternative singer-songwriter from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, a city with distant memories of glory days during the industrial revolution and regeneration projects that never got off the ground causing pockets of creative artists who take things into their owns hands, of which Gabriel is a part.

Both a musician and visual artist, Gabriel studied 3D design while also pursuing music. He is as comfortable designing his own album artwork, that he also sells as art prints, and turns into augmented reality Instagram filters, as he is in writing and performing his beautifully melancholic, but ultimately uplifting songs about love, life, death and most things in between.
