GAVI (short for Gabriela Belén Sanchez-Chavez) is a multi-talented artist who was born and raised in San Francisco, California. She currently attends Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts where she is pursuing a Professional Music degree with concentrates in music business, production, and songwriting. She started studying classical piano and ballet at the age of four, and continued onto theatre and other forms of dance (jazz, tap, contemporary, hip-hop) throughout her youth and into her adult life. She has trained at The San Francisco Conservatory of Music wherein she acquired self-disciplinary skills that allow her to understand music composition on a deeper level. However, her creativity extends beyond the realm of music, as she is known for her talent in other art forms including fashion, visual art, and dance. ​Gavi is a humble and thoughtful young artist whose ambitious nature continues to drive her artistic endeavors.
