Singer, songwriter, and cellist Gabriel Royal is revolutionizing the term “subway musician.” The Brooklyn-based busker was discovered playing his “grown-up lullabies” in the subway stations of NYC, and there he also found his lawyer, manager, and connection to his inspiration: the commuters of New York. Since then, the trailblazing talent has released two albums, collaborated with some of the industry’s most in-demand names, and performed to sold-out crowds around the world. Influenced by Stevie Wonder’s grooves and Burt Bacharach’s jazzy yet poppy sensitivities, Royal’s trademark sound is all his own – full of silky vocals, calming tones, and lush arrangements. Get ready for a night of grown-up lullabies when Gabriel Royal graces The Monarch.
