Like all great artists, Gerard is in the game for the right reasons. “I love making this music,” he says, continuing “I love the culture, and the feeling I get when I see the party jamming out to one of my originals for the first time. That alone is like a high. The thought of sharing my music and my sound with the world is my biggest motivator.” He absolutely has the skills and drive needed to break globally and his reputation is already preceding him.
