Gabriel Chaves de Melo was born in Minas Gerais. He settled in Rio de Janeiro in the 1940s and joined a career in the press. Between the 1950s and 1960s, he reached management positions at the Maquis and Ação Democrática magazines, both circulated in Brazil between the periods of government of Juscelino Kubitschek (1956-61), Jânio Quadros (1961) and João Goulart (1961-64).
