A Look At The Career Of Daniel Day-Lewis’ Son
As established, Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis was born into a family of entertainers, with both parents being talented actors. It is fair to say that this has had a positive influence on him, which explains why he wears many hats as an actor, singer-songwriter, and model.
He caught the acting bug at a young age when he followed his mother to movie sets around the world. His early experience came when he played the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz at the age of 13 in 2008. Years later, he portrayed Augustine in the crime thriller Tangiers by Friday and The Kid in the 2022 American western Terror on the Prairie. His IMDb profile also reveals credits in Adolphe (2002) and the short film Boots (2015).
Regarding music, Gabriel-Kane released the video of his single Green Auras in 2013 when he was 18. However, he received criticism due to the heavy references to drug use and the burdens of fame. Despite the criticism, he chose not to give more details at that time and even now, believing he had found a way to express himself through his music in a way that people could relate to. In 2015, he released his first EP, Every Scar Is a Healing Place, which featured his first single, In My Veins.
In the same year, he made his debut as a model at Paris Fashion Week after signing with IMG Models in 2014. Since then, he has been featured in print campaigns for brands such as Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, and Hudson Denim.
