SANDĀBĀDO

Sandābādo is the solo project of Jesse Gawlik, a producer and musician based in Morongo Valley, California. The project pairs soul blues instrumentation with desert rock energy across the debut album, ∞ LOVE. Written with Josh Tomaszewski and Christopher Kyser, the thirteen-track record explores transformation, devotion, and the search for meaning. Released through Whole Body Records (ASCAP), the project is independently owned and made by humans in a room.

The live debut takes place at The Whole Body Gathering on September 26, 2026 at Red Dog Saloon in Pioneertown, California.

Jesse Gawlik followed a familiar music-industry path until it stopped feeling like his own. After early contact with major-label machinery, he stepped away to build a more independent practice: a studio, a label, a publishing relationship, and a direct connection to listeners.

Sandābādo is the result. Based in the Joshua Tree / Morongo Valley area, the project folds the voltage of desert rock into the grain and intimacy of soul blues. Its debut, ∞ LOVE, moves through thirteen archetypal songs—restlessness, devotion, resilience, confrontation, grace—written with Josh Tomaszewski and Christopher Kyser and recorded at Sandabado Studio.

The project’s live world is equally intentional: a room, a band, an audience, and a sound built to meet in real time. No AI was used in the music. All masters and publishing remain under Whole Body Records.
