QUE PASO? I’M HECTOR CAMACHO AKA GABINO. I WAS BORN MAY 14, 1984 IN SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO. THE NAME GABINO, BASED ON MY MIDDLE NAME GABRIEL, WAS A NICKNAME GIVEN TO ME BY MY GRANDPARENTS. I REALLY NEVER MET MY FATHER SO MY MOTHER, GRAND MOTHER AND STEPFATHER MAINLY RAISED ME. THROUGHOUT MY CHILDHOOD I SWITCHED BACK AND FORTH TO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. BEING RAISED IN CAROLINA, PR., MAINLY BROUGHT REGGAETON TO MY LIFE.

AT AGE 11 I MOVED TO BRONX, NEW YORK. THIS TIME I HAD TO ENROLL IN A DIFFERENT SCHOOL WITHOUT SPEAKING ANY ENGLISH AT ALL. I MET A FEW KIDS THAT WOULD RAP IN SPANISH BATTLING EACH OTHER AND THAT GAVE ME THE MOTIVATION TO PURSUE THE MUSIC BUSSINESS. I WAS TOO YOUNG TO EVEN THINK HOW TO START BUT WRITING LYRICS SO I WOULD WRITE HERE AND THERE AS I WAS STARTING OUT.

A FEW MONTHS AFTER MOVING TO NEW YORK MY PARENTS DECIDED TO MOVE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WE WENT TO CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. STILL NOT KNOWING ANY ENGLISH AND MOVING TO YET ANOTHER DIFFERENT SCHOOL BUT I FOUND A WAY OF BRINGING REGGAETON AROUND NEW FRIENDS. AT AGE 16 I STARTED TO WRITE MORE AND TRIED TO FIND BEATS TO RECORD WITH AND PURSUE THE MUSIC I LOVE.

ONE OF THE GUYS THAT I KNEW IN SCHOOL IN CHICAGO WAS INTO MUSIC AS WELL AND TOLD ME HE COULD GET ME TO PERFORM AT LITTLE SPOTS HERE AND THERE AND STARTED PROMOTING ME AROUND. BY THE AGE OF 21 I WAS PERFORMING AT COMMUNITY EVENTS AND QUINCEANERAS WHERE I WAS BOOKED TO PERFORM. I WAS INTRODUCED TO DIFFERENT ARTISTS LIKE “LOS CHARLATANES” WHICH ALSO PERFORMED REGGAETON.

THE WAY I SING HAS CHANGED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS BY LISTENING TO OTHER SINGERS AND RAPPERS LIKE, WISIN Y YANDEL, VICO C, DADDY YANKEE, NICKY JAM, IVY QUEEN, RAKIM Y KEN-Y, ECT. LISTENING TO ALL OF THESE ARTISTS CREATED GABINO. WITH MY OWN STYLE. NOW IM SIGNED WITH 1913 RECORDS AND BRINGING WHAT I HAVE.
SOON EVERYONE WILL GET TO HEAR WHAT I DO. “REGGAETON EN MI CORAZON NADIE ME LO QUITA”(REGGAETON FROM THE HEART WILL NOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM ME) 2009 IS 1913 RECORDS YEAR. LOOK OUT FOR “GABINO”
