Influences

The whole wide world & THE OTHER SIDE YEA!!!
People ask him who is the girl or girl’s u write, sing about? “She doesn’t exist” she’s the fantasy girlfriend that lives in his mind. He’s very opinionated, everything, but will listen to yours; He’ll listen to your interpretation of song, take it into consideration. (most of the time) Gerhard is a musical sponge; an emotional vampire you’re the inspiration for what he writes YEA!!!;
