"Healing begins when someone believes in your potential — and I show up every day to be that someone."
Gabriel Cannon is an artist, mentor, and advocate who has dedicated his life to using creativity as a catalyst for change. Hailing from North Carolina, Gabriel was shaped by the vibrant culture of his community and the realities faced by many at-risk youth. His early love for music, storytelling, and performance grew into a powerful tool — not just for expression, but for transformation.
Beyond the stage and screen, Gabriel found his true calling in service. He has spent years working hands-on with youth through programs like Young Visionaries, where he teaches acting, improvisation, and creative writing in juvenile detention centers and alternative schools. His mentorship encourages young people to break cycles of violence and discover new ways to tell their stories. His work fosters self-awareness, emotional healing, and confidence — especially for youth impacted by trauma, incarceration, or systemic neglect.
In 2016, Gabriel deepened his commitment by completing his studies at Calvary Chapel Bible College, reinforcing the spiritual foundation that guides his mission. Today, he continues to balance his artistic passions with his unwavering dedication to youth development, personal growth, and community wellness. Through every performance, workshop, or conversation, Gabriel Cannon embodies the belief that healing begins when someone believes in your potential — and he shows up every day to be that someone.
