Gabe got first time public eye when he performed with his partner [[Kaycee Rice]] on ''America's Got Talent'' as Kaycee & Gabe in 2014. But he was already live on stage with some big celebrities  before since he was ten, such as Bruno Mars, Cee-Lo Green, and Far East Movement on Macy's Passport Glamorama in 2011. He got most fame of public eye when he performed as winner of the tWitch & Allison's Kids Dance Challenge on the ''Ellen DeGeneres Show'' in 2015 and as a member of the Club Mickey Mouse, which founded the careers of many famous artists. He got literally Disney's brand ambassador by that. Within the dance community Gabe was already an established star as dancer, choreographer and dance teacher as the prodigy, who got professional dancer when he was nine years old; at times when this was pretty rare.

 

Today he has a very long and impressive record of performances as dancer with some of the biggest artist, on some of the biggest events or stages, in some of their music videos or on commercials he did. In the dance industry it might be considered enough to file his passion claim with just 18 years old.

He appeared on many TV shows such as ''NBC's World of Dance'' season one with his group ''Boys of Temecula'', but they were eliminated in The Duels in an epic battle against ''The Lab'', who as common known won the million dollars in season two; ''Dance Moms'' in 2015, ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'', Disney's ''Shake it Up'', ''The Radio Disney Music Awards'' from 2015 to 2017, and many more.

He started dancing when he was five years old with hip-hop. 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. Since he was not getting many chances to employ his energy outide, his sister got him into dancing, where he let out all his pent up passion and energy. 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 theather and contemporary. He said once “Ballet, ballet, ballet—especially for boys! It’s the foundation for everything.” But most videos he is featured he performed hip-hop.

He was one of the very first members of 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 dancer, who became all famous 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 are 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 metroplotian area. They often met each other in LA in classes, conventions or sometimes at Studio 13 in Simi Valley, which Kaycee's mom owned. 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, many 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 new partner [[Sean Lew]]. But 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 Philipinnes, Thailand and Taiwan.  

He made actually more projects with the boys and his friends, such as, [[Sean Lew]], Josh Price and later Julian Deguzman. And formed with Sean, Josh, Kenneth San Jose, Grant Knoche, Big Will Simmons, Josh Cruzwith a little changing cast, and Amanda Taylor, Jennifer Stander, Matt Steffanina, Mark Koops, Eric Day, Jeff Jenkins as producers the boy dance group Boy Squad and made a complete, long-tern series of it. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRSXKM2xM90  Boy Squad - Vidcon - Verizon Performance]</ref> <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNnTcx5w8FU Boy Squad Dance Video | Right Now - Soul Mechanix]</ref> <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTOZ8GkjkZs Boy Squad Dance Video | Oh Yea - D.
