Vorlage:Infobox musical artist
Gabriella Evelina Quevedo (born 12 January 1997, Kinna, Sweden) is a Swedish guitarist. She grew up in Kinna and developed an interest in guitar because her father played the instrument. Her father is from Argentina and her mother is Argentinian-Swedish.[1] In addition to Swedish, she also speaks English and she understands Spanish.[2]
She began playing guitar at age twelve, quickly discovering, and mastering fingerstyle guitar techniques, which led to her recording a number of covers of other guitarists' performances and her own guitar arrangements on YouTube.[3][4][5] As of December 2017, Gabriella's YouTube channel had more than 580,000 subscribers and over 110 million views.
Quevedo cites her main influences as Tommy Emmanuel, Sungha Jung, Kotaro Oshio and Andy McKee, whose music she has included in her recordings and performance repertoires, and with whom she has appeared in concerts in Sweden and on the international stage.[6]
Her recording of "Hotel California" by the Eagles, arranged by Tomi Paldanius, had over 19 million views on YouTube in December 2017. In 2012 she won first prize in the category of "young talent" on the Uppsala International Guitar Festival[7] and 2014 Ryan Seacrest's vote on the best cover of the song "Young Girls" by Bruno Mars.[8][9] In 2016 she was awarded the Hagström grant of the Swedish Royal Academy of Music (Kungliga Musikaliska Akademien).[10]
She first learned to play on her father's Yamaha guitar, but later her parents bought Gabriella her own guitar, a "shiny black Yamaha with a cutaway", which is seen in her earlier videos on YouTube, and which was signed by Tommy Emmanuel.[11] She later started playing Taylor Guitars, first a custom Taylor GC8e, [12][13] then a Taylor 912ce[14][15] and is an artist supported by Taylor.[14]
