`` APPEARANCE
damn, you look good and i'm drunk

Many have admitted to being slightly intimidated by Gabe's height. Standing totally straight, with shoes on, he is about 6'3". He finds the fascination with his height irrational, since his good friend Ryland is at least an inch and a half taller than him. He appears thin and lanky, but upon closer observation, one would discover that he's rather muscular. He just can never manage to get ripped like those guys in the Bowflex commercials.

He has curly, dark brown hair cropped close to his head and brown eyes to match. He has sharp cheekbones, but his face is full enough so that you only really see them when eh grins or laughs hard enough. The way he dresses is greatly inspired by the colors and styles of the 80s, though he would never sport a hairstyle from that decade. He's known for wearing pastel and neon colors. One article of clothing you're unlikely to see him without is his bright purple hoodie.

`` PERSONALITY
get over yourself

Gabe responds to the emotional atmosphere around him and is often dominated by unpredictable and fluctuating moods. He seems pretty irrational, because he can't always explain why he's feeling something when he feels it. Anyone who lives with him must accept and cope with his ups and downs. Although he doesn't appear to be at first glance, he is very sympathetic and understands the needs and unspoken feelings of others. He is generally very optimistic and has a cheering effect on those around him. He enjoys a wide circle of friends who are like family to him. Entertaining, partying, and social activities are crucial to his emotional well-being.

When it comes to relationships, he is deeply possessive of his partner and can get jealous easily. He can be very demanding of his girlfriends, and often gets suspicious of their other relationships - even just platonic ones. If he is every betrayed or cheated on, he is capable of hating someone with as much intensity and passion as he can love someone. He is a very sociable person and he tends to look a little down in the dumps when there's no good friends around to share good times with. He enjoys working with others on group projects, namely any music that he makes with Cobra Starship. He is quite happy with his position and placement in the band. He loves to laugh, celebrate and enjoy himself with his friends whenever he can. Which is all the time, pretty much. Emotionally open and outgoing, he considers everyone he meets as a potential friend or just a friend right off the bat. His good humor and friendliness make him well-known and liked on the label. He's been known to overdo the festivities and the parties he throws often go too far, but he can never bring himself to regret it.

He relies heavily on alcohol and usually brings a bottle of Vodka or Jack Daniel's out on stage with him. This habit, along with the fact that he is a vegetarian, is admittedly bad for his health. But he manages to get by just fine. He has this nasty habit of telling jokes that aren't all that funny, but right after he hits the punchline, he'll laugh hysterically while everyone just gives him blank stares. His bandmates, however, have adapted to his sense of humor and always seem to laugh along.

`` YOUR PAST
why don't you just ask him where he spent his youth

Gabe Saporta was born in Montevideo, Uruguay on October 11, 1979. Both his parents are of Jewish descent. Having lived through the 80s is what developed his current obsession with the colors and the fashions. Two years after he was born, his younger brother, Ricky Saporta, was brought into the family. When he was four, his father decided that Uruguay was not the place for them, and they moved to the United States. His father had to restart medical school in America and ended up having to move out. Gabe didn't see him for seven years after that.

By the age of eight, he discovered music was his passion and it was his own personal sense of escape. He loved hair metal most. When he turned twelve, his father returned from medical school and had made enough money to move them to a middle-class suburb of New York. When he was fifteen, his mother filed for divorce and the resulting legal battle ended with his mother, taking everything his father had made. It made sense that Gabe wouldn't want to stay such a woman, so he stayed with his father, although they now had nothing and had to rebuild a foundation.

After the divorce, he started developing a love for punk and hardcore rock music. He enjoyed going to concerts with close friends, until a knife was pulled on him at one of these concerts. He and his friends then decided that if the mosh wasn't safe, they'd just somehow get themselves on stage. This was the beginning of Midtown. At first, the band played small shows in basements. Then the shows started growing in popularity, at one point having too many people to fit in the venue that had chosen. They never played a full arena tour, but they did play some smaller locations that they enjoyed just as much.

In 2005, Gabe Saporta formed Cobra Starship. He was the only recording member, but he took a touring band composed of Ryland Blackinton on guitar, Nate Novarro on the drums, Alex Suarez on the bass and Elisa Jordana on keytar. Eventually, Elisa would be kicked out of the band and Victoria "Vicky T" Asher would be brought in to replace her.
