Gifted & Blessed, alternately GB, is Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker, an electronic musician who works in a variety of styles such as sample-based abstract hip-hop, progressive R&B, deep house, and ambient techno favoring analog synthesis. A founding member of the Los Angeles beat scene, he is inspired by advancements in technology, cultural traditions, and spirituality. He refers to his work as "technoindigenous studies," and operates a label of the same name as an extension of his Gifted & Blessed imprint. Along with an assortment of singles and EPs, he has issued a handful of albums as either Gifted & Blessed or GB. His debut was Soundtrack for Sunrise (2004), a wild excursion into broken beat and acid jazz. Subsequent Gifted & Blessed albums include Within These Machines (2013), which focused on material created through his analog synthesizer studies, and Heard and Unheard (2023), a comparatively stern machine-soul excursion for Stones Throw.
Gifted & Blessed has also released music as a member of The Steoples and The Abstract Eye.
