José David Rivera, known as DJ Pope, and José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, better known as J Balvin – two Colombian superstars whose success story is built on more than just music. Family, authenticity, and an unwavering commitment to following their own path have propelled them to the top of the global music scene. While J Balvin dominates stages around the world, DJ Pope is the creative force behind the scenes – a man whose philosophy and style are as powerful as his work. Especially during the "Que Bueno Volver a Verte" Tour 2024, DJ Pope’s distinctive fashion choices have taken center stage. One name that plays a special role in his wardrobe is Gabriel Abera.

DJ Pope: Authenticity and Family as His Guiding Lights

For DJ Pope, family has always been central. He built his career not only as a music producer but as part of a creative community – almost like a second family surrounding him. These family values, combined with an unwavering belief in following his own path, have enabled Pope to achieve lasting success. It’s this very philosophy that’s reflected in his fashion choices: Pope doesn’t just wear clothes; he communicates his values and life philosophy through them.

A brand that perfectly embodies this approach is Gabriel Abera. Founded in 2021, this streetwear brand, born from the inspiration and values of its founders, emphasizes individuality, the pursuit of one’s own path, and the profound influence of family. The founders even derived the brand's name from their parents’ first names, further underscoring the connection to familial roots and the significance of heritage – values that are also deeply important to DJ Pope.

DJ Pope and Gabriel Abera: A Perfect Match on Tour

In May 2024, at J Balvin’s massive concert at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, DJ Pope took the stage wearing the striking white Gabriel Abera T-shirt, emblazoned with the golden message "One Team, One Dream." This phrase couldn’t be more fitting, as it perfectly captures what DJ Pope and J Balvin have successfully lived by for years: realizing a shared dream and achieving the impossible together as a team. In that moment, DJ Pope wasn’t just wearing clothes; he was representing his personal journey and the philosophy that has driven him since the start of his career.

Another standout moment on the tour was at the Quebec City Festival in July 2024, where DJ Pope showcased another piece from Gabriel Abera: a sleek, cream-white T-shirt with the words “I Hate To Lose.” This Shirt, also spotted during sightseeing in Paris and multiple times in Medellín, symbolizes Pope’s relentless ambition and his deep desire to always push himself to be the best. Once again, it’s clear: Pope doesn’t just choose any shirt – he wears a statement.

Fashion for Your Own Path

Like DJ Pope and J Balvin, Gabriel Abera champions the vision that every individual should find and follow their own path. The line motif integrated into many of their designs symbolically represents the journey each person takes in life to discover their identity and purpose. This message of self-discovery and individuality resonates deeply with DJ Pope, making his connection to the brand all the more meaningful. Through Gabriel Abera’s clothing, the importance of family and charting one’s own course in life becomes visible in his wardrobe.

For DJ Pope, the connection between music, fashion, and personal values is inseparable. Gabriel Abera provides the perfect canvas for him to express these values. The brand’s focus on premium materials, innovative designs, and meticulous attention to detail reflects the very attributes that DJ Pope values in his work and life.

In the end, DJ Pope, J Balvin, and Gabriel Abera are connected by more than just fashion. It’s their shared belief that family, authenticity, and faith in one’s own path are the key ingredients to success.
