Welcome!

This project exists because of a name change.

Since age 14, I created under the name GABETHEGOAT1K. I am now 26. Those years shaped everything I know about music, design, photography, storytelling, and myself. As I begin releasing work as GBRL, I didn’t want those years to disappear into an old hard drive or become disconnected from the artist I’ve become.

This museum is my bridge between those two names.

Every song here represents more than a recording. They’re snapshots of different versions of me, tied to specific places, people, experiments, failures, friendships, and breakthroughs. Alongside each piece, you’ll find the stories behind its creation, the artwork that accompanied it, and the people who helped bring it to life.

I also wanted to document the work itself. Too often, music appears online with very little context about who created what. Here you’ll find credits, photographs, design work, production notes, and the creative process behind each piece.

At this point in life, I feel more connected to myself than I ever have before. Becoming GBRL isn’t about abandoning who I was. It’s about carrying everything I learned into the next chapter with greater clarity and intention.

Thanks for visiting the museum.

I hope you leave knowing me a little better than when you walked in <3

1- Intro

Created in a hostel on Clifton, by the park. This particular night, I was in a heightened state from a magical fungus, and one of the couples I was sharing the apartment with (late-stage capitalism at its finest, bro, cause why are there 6 adults in a Brooklyn apartment?) began arguing very loudly in the kitchen. Thankfully, they were from Wales, so their accents made the situation more entertaining because I hadn’t heard Welsh rage before that day.

The commotion disrupted the atmosphere, so I put on “Doin’ Time” by Sublime to relax me. I had only discovered the song earlier that week, at a bar where I lived. I remember Shazaming it immediately because I was in the middle of making a chill song playlist.

In my attempt to regulate my nervous system, I went from YouTube to Logic Pro and started cooking. And now it’s the opening track to this collection!
