Gaël Hutubessy here: I am a professional artist and musicologist based in Amsterdam. I work across performance, sound installations, and archival research, creating immersive projects that blend music, history, and culture.

I also teach students to produce, DJ, and play drums, piano, bass, and guitar, and I help organize events with Nevera Soundsystem. I help singers, rappers and producers create songs and full projects.
