Early life
Cabrera was born in Dallas, Texas, and raised as a Christian. He attended St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School in Richardson, Texas and then Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas. Listening to Dave Matthews Band influenced him to play the acoustic guitar.[2]
Career
Cabrera played in the band Rubix Groove, which opened for artists like Cheap Trick and Third Eye Blind. Cabrera composed three songs that impressed a studio engineer, who then let Cabrera record a full-length album, Elm St., for free at Deep Ellum Studios.[3]
Take It All Away
Cabrera was signed to Atlantic Records in 2001.[3] His major debut single "On the Way Down" debuted on American radio in May 2004.[4] "On the Way Down" peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[5]
Take It All Away was released on August 17, 2004, at number eight on the Billboard 200 album chart and sold over 66,000 copies in its first week[6] and eventually was certified Double Platinum.[7]John Rzeznik, lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls, produced Take It All Away.[4] The second single was "True", whose music video featured Taylor Cole, an actress from the TV show Summerland.[8] The third single was "40 Kinds of Sadness". Cabrera appeared on the Son of the Mask soundtrack with the song "Inside Your Mind"[9] and the Fantastic Four soundtrack with the song "Always Come Back To You".[10] Cabrera has starred in a concert film, Live at the Wiltern, with him performing songs from his album Take It All Away.
2005-2008: You Stand Watching
Cabrera's second album, You Stand Watching, was released on September 20, 2005, and it included his singles "Shine On" and "Photo". Cabrera's relationship with Ashlee Simpson inspired "Photo".[11] Several songs were co-written with singer/songwriter Andrew Ripp. You Stand Watching debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 and sold around 37,000[12] in its first week and eventually got certified gold.[7]
In 2006, Cabrera released the single "I Will Remember You". The song was used soon thereafter as the closing montage for the series finale of Will & Grace. Soon after, the song was used to send off the female contestants on the 3rd season of So You Think You Can Dance.[13] He added a re-recorded version of the song at the end of his third album, The Moon Under Water.
The Moon Under Water was released on May 13, 2008, under Frolic Room Records/ Papa Joe Records and peaked at No. 177 on the Billboard 200. It released two singles, "Say" and "Enemies".
