He started dancing when he was five years old with a combo class in tap and ballet. He described himself as very shy at these days. Gabe’s parents have fully supported his dancing career right from the start. As a child, he suffered from asthma and other allergies which needed him to find an indoor activity, after came always home sick doing other sports. Since he was not getting many chances to employ his energy, his older sister got him into dancing, where he let out all his pent up passion and energy. She even wanted him to start with four. He has always had a passion for dancing, right from the time he used to dance up and down at his sister’s dance competitions. Gabe was just about ten years old when he won the Hall of Fame Junior Solo National Championship, about one year after he started competing. Due success, he had received a number of dance scholarships from prestigious training workshops, conventions and events such as Camp Pulse, Jump, NUVO, Co Dance, Monsters of Hip Hop and The Dance Awards. He is trained in jazz, tap, ballet, musical theater and contemporary. He said once “Ballet, ballet, ballet — especially for boys! It’s the foundation for everything.” But most videos he is featured he is performing hip-hop. However, his freestyle is killing it all. He said that he learned from dancing leadership, preparation, professionalism, patience and also how to attract "chicks" on a party. But to play the macho he was bullied too much in school, because he is a male dancer.

He was one of the very first members of IMMA and was a member of the crews LilBeast, TeenBeast and ImmaBeast, because he was recruited directly by "WillDaBeast" Adams before he founded IMMA - it was literally an animal thing - and Gabe joined later LilBeast, the company subsection for very young talented dancers, who became all famous later too. Another mentor was Tricia Miranda, who trained the prodigy [[Kaycee Rice]] and thought, he was a perfect match for Kaycee as duet, because they can handle both - performance and technical skills - and were of same size (yet). But there was an obstacle for their rehearsals; Kaycee and Gabe lived three hours apart from each other, because he was grown up in Temecula valley, and she lives in the LA metropolitan area. They often just met each other in LA in classes, conventions or sometimes at Studio 13 in Simi Valley, which Kaycee's mom owned and Kaycee joined later IMMA too. But they got later the opportunity to work intensively together, when they became both The Pulse Elite proteges in New York 2015, toured across the US with some celebrity choreographers, and many other very talented industry dancers, and graduated together as Elite Almnani in 2016. But after that they had separated paths. Tricia once was kidding on the Yuma Hip-Hop festival that Kaycee left Gabe for her new partner [[Sean Lew]]. But if it would be some truth in it, Gabe wasn't a child of sadness, because he toured with his and also Kaycee's best friend [[Tati McQuay]] through the Philippines and visited eight cities together and had workshops,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwPEKEJhBDM GABE DE GUZMAN NET25 LETTERS AND MUSIC Full Interview]</ref> taught together in three cities in Columbia and in the Dominican Republic. But when we made research for Tati's page, we started realizing that Tati is actually not a child of sadness.

Another mentor was Tricia Miranda, who trained the prodigy [[Kaycee Rice]]. The stars aligned back in 2013, when two young dancers walked into Tricia's class at International Dance Academy (IDA) in Hollywood. Kaycee, then 10, and Gabe, then 12, plowed their way through an intricate hip-hop combo to Rihanna’s “Right Now,” showing dancers twice their age what it means to go full-out. 
 
Tricia recalled:
<blockquote>
"I saw this little kid Gabe, who was two years older than her, but still very tiny like her and they took my class one time and I put them together, because they were the only kids in my class, because I only taught adults. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FVMunBjl58 And they went for blood!] (RR: front blond [[JoJo Gomez]], freaking out behind Gabe was WillDaBeast Adams and video went later viral as well). [...] I remember thinking, ‘Wow, these kids are aliens,’ It’s so rare to find a student who’s mastered both performance and technique, and here I had two.” [...] And I had these idea, ''OMG, they need to be an duet, I will create something with them'' and I created these little duet "Monster" at The PULSE on Tour in 2013 and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFhxYByX58Q that went viral] (but another performance first already deleted, about 2.5M views; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z1XcIyisGw found mirror]). And than I was like,''Ok, now I doing this kid thing.'' And because these both things went viral, I decided to work with kids."
</blockquote>
Kaycee's first impression about Gabe:
<blockquote> “This little boy is crazy amazing. OMG, I have to dance with him." - [https://dancespirit.com/teenage-mutants/#gsc.tab=0 DanceSpirit - Gabe De Guzman and Kaycee Rice Are a Stage Match Made in Hip-Hop Heaven] </blockquote>
