Gabi Holzwarth

Gabi Holzwarth is a professional violinist. She graduated from UC Davis.

Education

Holzwarth is a graduate of UC Davis, Class of 2017, where she majored in History.

Personal Life

Gabi is very close to her sister, Yvette Holzwarth, who is also a musician.

Gabi was dating Uber CEO Travis Kalanick from 2014 - 2016. She broke up with him in August 2016.

She says that Travis Kalanick has helped her rise from being a street violinist in Palo Alto to a serious musician.

She and Travis met when she was hired to play violin at venture capitalist Shervin Pishevar's house. Holzwarth was discovered by Pishevar while she was performing in the violin outside a Trader Joe's.

Gabi had a very rough childhood.

She is half-Chinese, half-American.

She was sexually abused by her tennis instructor, and developed an eating disorder.

Holzwarth was the target of disparaging jokes by comedian T.J. Miller (including calling her a bitch) at the Crunchies Award ceremony in February 2015.

Uber Revelations

In 2017, Holzwarth revealed that she had accompanied Uber executives to pick up prostitutes at a bar in Korea in 2014. One of the executives was a woman, four others were men, including Emil Michael, who had been under the spotlight for making threats to reporter Sarah Lacy.
