As a young teenager, Gabe Reed left his native Texas to pursue the dream of many – to be a rock star. Against all odds, Gabe became a prominent figure in the influential 1980's Hollywood music scene and was featured along with KISS, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Poison, Motorhead and Ozzy Osborne in the 1988 Penelope Spheeris (Waynes World) directed documentary "The Decline of the Western Civilization II: The Metal Years". In the 20 years since its debut, the film has developed a cult following and remains one of the most memorable pieces of rock film history. Although fame as a rock star was fleeting, Gabe learned the “business” side of music and forged friendships with many musicians and industry insiders – all of which serves him well today.

While his contemporaries continued to tour and sell millions of records, Gabe decided to enroll in UCLA and graduated cum laude in 1995.

Gabe then returned to Texas to attend Southern Methodist University School of Law and graduated in 1998. While in law school, Gabe worked full time for the legendary aviation attorney John Howie. While working for Mr. Howie, Gabe had the invaluable opportunity to work on several high profile cases including the tragic Valu-Jet crash in 1996. His time with Mr. Howie solidified Gabe's passion to stand up and give a voice to powerless individuals who have been harmed.

After graduating from law school, Gabe became involved in the extensive litigation surrounding the groundwater contaminant MTBE, a noxious chemical added to gasoline by the oil industry. Gabe was a part of a legal team that represented Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) on behalf of the general public in California. With his help, CBE secured a settlement that required major oil companies to clean up more than 1,000 sites contaminated by gasoline additives.

Gabe continued to be involved in high profile environmental cases. For example, Gabe was part of the team that successfully represented the City of Dallas against the Explorer Pipeline Company (along with several oil companies) in a case that involved the largest release of MTBE and gasoline into surface water in United States history.

Gabe also assisted in the representation of several hundred individuals who were unknowingly exposed to MTBE contaminated water by a large refinery in Bakersfield, California. Both cases resulted in multi-million dollar settlements.

Although he still serves as a consultant on Environmental cases across the United States, Gabe has taken the opportunity provided by his success in the litigation arena to re-focus his energy and resources on entertainment business.

Accordingly, over the last several years, Gabe has developed a specialty in structuring and securing deals for legendary figures of rock music. Gabe's recent accomplishments include closing recording deals for rock legends such as Journey and organizing deals on behalf of members of KISS, Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses, the Bee Gees, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top, Fleetwood Mac, Judas Priest, amongst others. Gabe has also been successful in forging projects that tie innovative corporate sponsorship opportunities to rock legends such as KISS. As the appreciation for American music has increased on an international scale, Gabe founded Gabe Reed Productions (“GRP”) which has developed partnerships with a network of international concert promoters that has enabled him to have the resources and organization to stage large scale concerts in Mexico, South America, Europe and China.

In 2009, GRP successfully promoted KISS’ first appearance in South America in over a decade with the opening night of their sold out South American stadium tour in Santiago, Chile and also promoted the official KISS Alive 35 South American Tour VIP Events in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and Peru. In 2010, GRP promoted South American arena tours by Motley Crue’s Vince Neil and the Bee Gees’ Robin Gibb in countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Brazil. In 2011, GRP will continue to be promoting several tours in South America including a first ever South American tour by Motley Crue who will be headlining a multi-country “Crue Fest.”

In addition to South America, GRP will also continue to exclusively promote concerts at the Workers Stadium in Beijing, China in partnership with CITIC Gouan, Sports Window Beijing and Hyperflux Global. Moreover, GRP is scheduled to promote concerts in North America, South Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
