Young Summer
For 2021, Gabriel is very excited to be working with artist Young Summer who he co-manages with Rob McDermott.
Young Summer is an American songwriter/singer based in Nashville, TN. She’s gained recognition for her uniquely textured alto voice, raw and deliberate songwriting, and uncompromising sincerity.
Her music blends perfectly-crafted songs with layered electronic soundscapes. And her powerful emotive style has drawn comparisons which range from Kate Bush to Lana Del Rey.
Young Summer has performed with artists including Odesza, Tove Lo, Chromeo, Tegan and Sara, Glass Animals, and Future Islands.
LadyGunn Magazine recently professed that “Her deep and poetic musings take you to far corners of the mind, Young Summer makes music you want to sway to, but also really pay attention to.”
Currently, Young Summer released two singles (‘If the World Falls To Pieces’ and ‘The Emperor’) from her upcoming album, “Emotionally High,” the follow up to “You Would Have Loved It Here” (2016 EP) and “SIREN” (2014 LP), which was heralded by the indie community.

The event also featured “reunion” performances from Perry Farrell with both Jane’s Addiction and Porno For Pyros. Gabriel Gornell proudly served as an Executive Producer.
Perry Farrell’s Kind Heaven Orchestra
As part of the executive team/artist management, Gabriel currently oversees brand strategy, messaging, and digital content for the connected creative businesses of visionary artist Perry Farrell— including his interests in The Kind Heaven Orchestra, Lollapalooza, Jane’s Addiction, Porno For Pyros, and a growing portfolio of music, event, streaming experiences, and purpose-driven (charitable) initiatives.
Recent initiatives include the Perry’s career-spanning box set due holiday 2020, serving as an Executive Producer on #Lolla2020 (the Covid-compliant virtual festival), serving as an Executive Producer in the development of the upcoming Lollapalooza documentary, and overseeing both marketing and brand initiatives including social media, direct-to-fan, streaming, promotions, PR communications, label relations, and more. Excited to have played an integral role in the first Porno For Pyros reunion performance in 28 years!
