ABOUT

Music is a matter of the heart . . .

… this is why to me music has always been related to friendship and happenings which mark a corner stone in my heart.

It was at the age of twenty when I discovered my songwriting skills. I elaborated a unique methodology on «how to write powerful lyrics» and since 2021, I have been capacitating artists in all kinds of genres to strengthen their songtext writing skills (read more under «lyrics»).

In 2007, while intensively studying Flamenco dance I produced my first Spanish vocals for the DJ Duo WAWA. Since then, the dance track Sombrita has been played in clubs around the globe and numerous remixes were produced. 2015, my lyrics for In the Same Boat became part of the Soundtrack for „der achte Kontinent“.

In 2020 I decided to complement my musical skills with a solid academic basis. Since then I have been studying popular music and Jazz at WIAM – and I love it!

As a humanitarian worker I have been traveling the world for many years. I soon understood that music plays an important role in the life of all human beings. Visit me here to discover my  «geographer’s heart».

Our desire to unfold our «inner self» is at the centre of my work. And this is why to me song writing means evolving our human potential and to contribute to a peaceful world.
Love,

FABAL'S MUSIC BLOG

Ever since I have travelled the continents as a humanitarian worker people & music raised my attention. I am repeatedly moved by the way people enjoy music around the world.

Being aware of people’s need for music and cultural expression became an inherent part of my personal interest. There is barely somebody in this world with whom one cannot talk about music! Music builds a common ground, it speaks a universal language and it is as important as food and other livelihoods.

Music is a statement, a healer, a connector, a source of energy and joy. It inspires, brings people together and as an economic factor it provides jobs and income around the world.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO PORTRAY IN THIS BLOG.
