Gabrielle Elyse Oberes Padre, known professionally as GEO, is a San Francisco Bay Area harpist redefining where the harp belongs. Blending hip-hop, R&B, reggae, EDM, and Bay Area music, she brings an emotional, rhythmic, and improvisational approach to an instrument rarely heard in these spaces.

In 2026, GEO became the first harpist to perform as part of an official Super Bowl house band, playing with The Yee Section at Levi’s Stadium for Super Bowl LX. That same weekend, she opened for Kehlani during a major San Jose Super Bowl pregame celebration.

Her work has continued making waves across music, sports, and culture. After becoming the first harpist to perform the national anthem at a professional sports game for San Diego Wave FC’s AAPI Night in 2025, GEO returned to the sports world in 2026 to perform the anthem at Oracle Park for the San Francisco Giants’ Filipino Heritage Night.

GEO has also performed at NBA All-Star Weekend, Head in the Clouds, and Outside Lands, where she joined LaRussell on the Lands End mainstage. As a member of The Yee Section, she helps build live arrangements in real time, blending improvisation, musicianship, and the energy of the crowd.

She has performed alongside and shared stages with artists including Too $hort, E-40, LaRussell, Saweetie, Lil Jon, Baby Bash, and P-Lo. Her viral harp rendition of Mac Dre’s “Thizzle Dance” earned recognition from Bay Area artists including Too $hort, Mistah F.A.B., and P-Lo, further connecting her sound to the culture that raised her.

Beyond concerts and festivals, GEO has brought her work to SFMOMA, the Asian Art Museum, Gap Inc., Google, R&B and Ribs, and major cultural events throughout the Bay Area. She also appeared on America’s Got Talent, bringing her genre-bending approach to a national audience.

Through every performance, GEO is making waves by showing that the harp can exist anywhere — from hip-hop stages and museums to stadiums, festivals, day parties, and national television — bridging tradition and the future while creating a sound that is distinctly her own.
