Gabriel Wheat
Broken Arrow
Summary
Inspired by my affinity for music, from thirteen to fifteen, I attended Broken Arrows School of Rock program. I played bass guitar for two different bands through that time and continue to play bass today.
I worked my first job at the age of fifteen in the service industry, an industry that I would participate in until the age of eighteen.
At eighteen, I attended the Tulsa Tech audio engineering program for one year and received a certificate. Around this time, I started to explore sound design in synthesis and basic music composition.
I am continuing my education at Tulsa Community College. Since 2024, I have been gaining general education credits and pursuing another audio engineering certificate. Independently, I have started to produce and play in a local band.
At the age of nineteen I made a concerted effort to network, develop community, and gain real world recording experience. Music has saved my life in so many ways and I strive to have a positive influence in my social circle and creative life.
I currently produce local indie records and a service industry podcast. I also provide live sound for events and continue to work closely with the music scene in Tulsa.
