The doctor is in tune.
Welcome to the world of of Dr. Gabriel Dassa. Not too many medical professionals can boast a resume full of wellness and musical joy like him. He is not only a well-known orthopedic expert. He also has the proud and unique honor of being a star in the music industry. There frankly are not too many medical professionals in the world who also are talented artists, but as demonstrated by the man with multiple talents there really should be on earth.
The doctor that does it all abides by a motto of being able to treat all patients in a competent and compassionate environment . While his practice Dassa Orthopedics specializes in orthopedic treatments, Dr. Dassa also applies the benefits of music to his overall office protocols. His patients love his musical presence as much as his delighted audiences when he performs with Classic Sounds.
From the operating room and during consults then onward to the music stage, Dr. Dassa demonstrates impeccable skill and steadfast determination to succeed in his passions. He is the leading orthopedic expert in the New York Metropolitan area and is well known as one of the most memorable voices in the a cappella group Classic Sounds and is a member of Jay Siegel’s Tokens. A trailblazer across industries, he continues to spread passion and healing to his community.
His wonderful musical inclinations are rooted in the revival of his own all-time favorite band. At an early age, Dr. Dassa met many artists to include Robert Carr from Robert and Johnny and Willie Winfield of the Harptones to name a few. He had shared the stage with music greats such as The Drifters, The Miracles, and Righteous Brothers and many other artists from the 50’s and 60’s. He quickly developed a strong ardor for Doo-wop and musical expression. Simultaneously in active pursuit of medicine, he would sing between surgeries, performing in local theater productions of “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Godspell.”
The delight in the cross connections of the fields proved to be a noteworthy affair that would last a lifetime. Within no time, Dr. Dassa received offers from the leading names in a cappella. He joined Classic Sounds fresh off their win of A Cappella American Idol in 2010.
As manager of Classic Sounds, Dr. Dassa leads performances, handles bookings and events, as well as records, mixes, produces, and masters their albums and tracks. On stage, the professional sings lead and first tenor, second tenor, and even falsetto. Alongside Classic Sounds he has been fortunate to have performed on “The Vinny Vella Show” and proudly filled stadiums across the country.
The magic behind the music of the Tokens was stylized by Jay Siegel, the original lead singer, and founding member. His distinct falsetto and tenor lead has remained sacred and characterized by the group with Dr. Dassa and Kurt Yaghjian. Here is to more doctors lending an ear to musical inclinations.
