Early life
Gabriel Saporta was born in Uruguay to Diego and Jeanette (both of Jewish descent); in WW2 his dad became a doctor in Uruguay.

He has a younger brother named Ricky, who is two years his junior. When he was 4, his dad decided that he did not want to stay in Uruguay anymore and they moved to the United States.His father sold scarves on the street; he then left to go to medical school and Saporta did not see him for seven years. By the age of 8, he found music as a sense of escape.

When he was 12, his father had returned from medical school and they had moved to a middle-class suburb. He then found it a lot of fun to go to concerts with his friends, but after having a knife pulled on him, he did not go anymore.He and his friends then thought about putting on shows in the local area; there was nothing else to do in the suburbs so around 500 people would get every weekend.
