Gabrial Lundy, performing under the moniker Gabrial James, is an acoustic singer/songwriter from Grand Rapids, MI. He has been playing the guitar since the age of fourteen and singing since the age of eight.
His late father taught him how to play the guitar and had formal vocal training in the Saint Cecilia Music Society Chorale from 1985-1989.
In the summer of 2003, Gabrial was invited to be the host/emcee of the acoustic open mic showcase at Billy’s Lounge in Eastown, one of the finest venues for local music and blues in GR. For seven long years his tenure as host brought in a wide range of regional, national, and international talent from solo singer/songwriters to hip-hop outfits to stand-up comedy.
Gabrial also sings background vocals with the urban folk outfit of LVNMUZIQ.
His first album “Around the Block” is an organic acoustic album that was released in August of 2010. He blends several genres of music into his own unique style including americana, a bit of bluegrass, melodic alternative, and folk. Gabrial has an amazingly dynamic vocal range with great delivery and control.
