Gabriel Fernández (born March 24, 1966, in Caracas, Venezuela)[1] is a Venezuelan singer, actor and YouTube personality.
According to allegations that Fernández made some 40 years later during early 2021 to former Menudo member Ray Reyes (who was collecting testimonies for an editorial work he wanted to make about band director Edgardo Diaz's supposed abuses of band members), Fernandez was chosen as member Rene Farrait's successor at Menudo and was flown to Aruba during a Menudo tour to keep practicing with the band, but a harrowing incident took place when Fernández was told that he was going to spend a night at a hotel with 3 adult males and when he got to the hotel, he figured out that none of the band's members were there and he was the only child present with those males, and, according to his account, he was also told that he was going to sleep with Diaz in Diaz's bed that night.
Fernández was chosen as the new member of Los Chamos, and the band enjoyed much success in Latin America.
[5] After leaving Los Chamos, Fernández settled back home in Venezuela, but he left sporadically to pursue an international acting career, such as the time he acted in the Mexican telenovela hit, "Quinceanera" (as a character that was aptly named "El Chamo").
He also participated in his first Venezuelan telenovela, "Cristal", and recorded his first solo album, named "Piensa en Mi" ("Think About Me").
