He did commercials, for instance, for Microsoft, Disney and Old Navy, but also for younger peer groups, such as for the toy companies ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Power Rangers''. Gabe achieved even a particular sort of immortality by being featured in two installments of the popular ''Just Dance'' series of video games. The first, ''Just Dance: Disney Party'', was released for the Wii and Xbox 360 in 2012; the second, ''Just Dance Kids 2014'', saw release on the Wii, Wii U and Xbox 360 the following year. Gabe's not in the games as a playable character; rather, like in real life, he's more of a coach.

In 2017, Gabe got first time attention as great hip-hop choreographer due his concept video "Turn Up The Music", song by his idol James Brown.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb-9gPnpejI Turn Up the Music | Chris Brown | Choreography/Concept by Gabe De Guzman]</ref> He shows frequently his hommage to him by jump from different position, sometimes with backflip, pirorettes etc, into a James Brown split. A miracle he said he never got seriously injured. Sometimes he hurted himself a little, shoke it off and just rushed back into battle for a new charge, because his dance style is extremely fast with brutal accents. His former permanent dance partner [[Kaycee Rice]] said about him, his spirit animal must be a cheetah, because he's so fast.<ref>[https://www.dancespirit.com/teenage-mutants-2326732372.html Gabe De Guzman and Kaycee Rice Are a Stage Match Made in Hip-Hop Heaven]</ref> But because he can jump very high and far, get down and stand up very fast too, maybe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velociraptor Velociraptor] could be the best totem for him. He is also known for his head slides, when he slide yards over the dance floor with his feet strait vertical top on his head.

He started dancing when he was five years old. 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.

No wondering that he found some mentors and supporters. 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. They often met each other in LA in classes, conventions or sometimes at Studio 13 in Simi Valley, which Kaycee's mom owned.
