Brooklyn may have a reputation for being home to fledgling musicians, but Clinton Hill resident Emanuel Gibson, 28, isn’t just another wannabe rockstar. It may be a coincidence that he shares his surname with a world famous guitar company, but Gibson’s golden voice and skilled guitar-playing fingers would make the Gibson Guitar Corporation proud to share its name.
A former Wall Street financier and journalism graduate student, Gibson had many alternative career opportunities. Yet he knew he would never be content unless he followed his passion for playing music.

Gibson uses shrewd business skills and savvy networking to break into the New York scene, performing and producing live shows throughout the city.

He sure loves F# and G. I like that you were able to get into his apartment for the audio – keeps it clean. However his interior space is a bit boring for 3 minutes’ worth of video.
His music’s pretty good, though.
