Guitarist/Vocalist/Songwriter. WA. Blues / Reggae / Funk / Soul
Born on the Island of Mauritius and based in Australia, GERARD MAUNICK is a SINGER/GUITARIST/SONGWRITER that brings with him a multitude of Musical Colors and Rhythm.
MAUNICK sings in English, Mauritian Creole and French, delivering a diverse blend of Blues/Roots/Reggae/Funk with Island Creole Overtones where Vocal Melodies and Soul Guitar direct the many Nuances.
He creates a different 'ingredient' in almost every song and his guitar has many moods. There's an accent on GERARD'S voice that sometimes goes straight through you like a force of nature, a God-given gift as some may say, the ability to strike a chord, giving you goose-bumps. GERARD MAUNICK is a songwriter, a master of melody, and a guitarist extreme with rhythm.

Mike Wafer – XPress Magazine Perth WA: Put simply, Gérard Maunick is a rare gem of a musician. Amazingly gifted not only as a player (guitarist/vocalist) and songwriter, but as a thoughtful and in-turn thought provoking human being.
John Ward of ‘Only Blues Music’ said: “Probably the best description I could give you of Gérard is that if Jimi Hendrix & Bob Marley came back in the form of one person, that person would be Gérard. I have rarely met anyone with the love of music & people that Gérard has. A truly wonderful & talented guy, who plays like a demon, just amazing.”
The Ottawa Blues Society (Ontario Canada) announced that in 2007 Gérard was a finalist at The Lakeside Blues Festival in Finland which has become one of Europe's biggest blues festivals. Gérard was voted the general public's favourite artist at the Festival.

I have a real close friend who has real talent when it comes to freestyle rhyming on a mic, and he writes his own songs, if you heard him you would be so suprised at how much skill he has as an EMCEE.
I was curious, i want to know if you do anything to help young australian MC's from getting out of there shed to getting some studio time, and hopefully he can get his first album recorded and released to the public, please get back to me,
Thankyou so much for the positive support! I am doing this all on my lonesome and have had heaps of good feed back.
I started off buying copious amounts of urban streetwear online, and thought, why? we are our own country, why not create an australian own urban street wear that can be worn by anyone, it's 100% australian and there will be no shipping outside the country like alot of other so called "australian own labels"
