Biography (read more)
Gabriella Evelina Quevedo (born 1997 in Kinna, Sweden, to a musical family with an Argentine guitarist father) is a Swedish fingerstyle acoustic guitarist who taught herself to play largely by watching online videos. She built a large following on her YouTube channel, which as of the mid-2020s has over 1.6 million subscribers and hundreds of millions of views, largely through instrumental cover arrangements of pop and rock songs alongside original compositions. In 2012 she won the young-talent category at the Uppsala International Guitar Festival, and in 2016 she received the Hagström grant from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music. She has performed and collaborated internationally with prominent fingerstyle guitarists including Tommy Emmanuel, Sungha Jung, and Andy McKee, and holds endorsement relationships with Taylor Guitars and G7th.
Quevedo is not a classical musician but a widely followed contemporary fingerstyle guitarist and YouTuber whose cover arrangements (including a Pink Floyd cover with over 20 million views) have helped popularize fingerstyle acoustic guitar technique to a mass online audience.
