Welcome to GER's OFFICIAL soundcloud profile!  GER is the musical alias of one Gerrit Van Riet. Originally from Chicago, Illinois and a member of the electro punk duo He Who Is i, Gerrit has traveled and lived in Los Angeles where he performed with Skyfire Ace.  Indie in the truest sense of the word, he writes, records, programs, and mixes all of his own music.  From his many travels GER has made some incredible friendships with many amazing, talented artists and they have lent themselves to appear on the many tracks that comprise GER's music. Between the new wave rock jams featuring himself on vocal duties and the electro punk instrumentals he writes he "does what he wants". Why would anybody limit their creativity to just one genre of music??? 

"Growing up an 80's baby I had such a love for 80's pop music embedded in my soul, I just couldn't shake it. Everything from 80's hip-hop to epic rock ballads, that era of music just had a magic to it that I personally feel is missing nowadays.  Growing up in the Chicago suburbs I also lived, ate, and breathed punk music. Admittedly I play too much video games, I grew up an NES kid and I still enjoy a good 8-bit midi sound. With GER I get to fuse all the those elements of music that I grew up with into one guilty pleasure.  Hopefully you can find some "magic" in it yourself when you listen to the songs I have come to deem my "life's work".  Thanks for stopping by and listening to my life. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to follow me here!"~ Ger
