BlankMetaFour, aka Gabriel Kittle-Cervine, is a writer, organizer, musician and educator from Santa Cruz, CA. Multidisciplinary in his approach to creating. Their music is post-genre; steeped in the rhythms and lessons of Hip Hop culture, as well as the urgency of punk rock, rising out of the smoldering world of poetry slam, into something yet to be named. Heavily lyrical, while also managing to feel like a refreshingly long breath of fresh air. First emerging under the moniker BlankMetaFour in 2018, though has been rhyming since he first learned Shock G's "Humpty Dance" at age 11. Over the last 10 years, Gabe has been like an underground aquifer, supplying hydration for the network of sprouting art springs all over Santa Cruz. These days they focus their time and energy in writing, anti-racist organizing, and youth empowerment. They have 3 EPs and a smattering of singles, all of which are free to stream. They currently work full time at a local Santa Cruz school in community operations and the DEI department, as well as operating the independent publisher T*B*D Ink Productions, which sponsors readings, workshops, book printing and an anti-racist online resource called BetrayingWhiteness.org. He is currently working on his first novel, as well as a sophomore collection of poetry. Learn more at www.blankmetafour.com ~ Vivian Lask
