WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

18-year-old Gabriel O’Leary, aka Knapsack, is a Chicago native currently attending NYU. As the writer, producer, and engineer behind his own music, Gabriel exercises full creative control over his sound and his music. Which is not only impressive, but it gives us a small taste of Knapsack’s full potential as a rising musician.
