It’s been a few months since the release of Beyonce’s 7/11 music video and we’re still bumping it. Aside from being a great work out jam, there was something about the video that seemed so familiar, but we couldn’t figure out what it was.
That is until we discovered that Gabriel “Gab” Valenciano was the muse for Queen Bey’s music video! Gab, a 26-year old Filipino dancer, actor, musician, choreographer and model produced a series of viral videos called “Super Selfie.” Apparently, it was this video series which caught Beyonce’s attention.
Queen Bey must’ve been thoroughly entertained after watching Gab. She was so inspired that she had to contact him for a brainstorm session. On ABS CBN News, Gab talks more about the phone call and how Beyonce uses his signature move.
He also posted Beyonce’s music video on his official Facebook account saying, “Hi everyone, this has been a very surreal season for me, and today is quite special. This video, which apparently was inspired by my videos, is now out. I was told that she herself watched my videos and asked to bring me onboard the creative process. Unbelievable. To God be all glory. Thanks for the support everyone! Still can’t believe it.‪#‎superselfie”
Beyonce’s 7/11:
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree after all. Performing must run in the family because Gab is the son of one of Philippines’ most acclaimed entertainers, Gary V. You may recognize Gary for his heartfelt and lovesick ballads of the 90s; the one’s that’ll make you sigh and swoon. Oh yeah, and for performing alongside the one and only Brian McKnight (Yeah, no biggie).
