TARGET Practice: 52 Weeks to Completing My Album (ePub)

A true music lover and overall philosopher, Gerald Walker was born July 14th, 1987 in Chicago, IL. He was raised in Bellwood, Illinois until age 12 when he moved to Milwaukee, WI, with his mother. While in Milwaukee he attended Riverside University High School and upon graduating he made the decision to pursue his musical passions seriously and began writing. He went on to attend Columbia College in Chicago where he studied graphic design and television sitcom writing. It was at Columbia that his hunger for music grew as he was surrounded by musically inclined classmates, professors, friends and other surrounding inspirations. Today, Walker currently resides in New York City, he's not only remained current, but has improved with each release. Esteemed and respected, the rapper-songwriter has taken his brand of hip hop music all over the world with a combination of 14 musical releases; all while deepening his word play and sharpening his musical skills.

"When I write I try to motivate and inspire," Walker says. "I'm the mix of Zig Ziglar and Big Tigger (laughs). I just want to make an impact on people's lives more than anything." The secret to the success of Gerald Walker is how he's broken down the barrier between the performer and the man. "I'm always the same—whether I'm hanging out with my grandfather or rocking the stage," he says. "I've become way more confident and you can hear the growth to where I'm at now. Music, to me, is not just the about money, it's about inspiring others."

For Walker, music is about speaking directly to listeners and making them believe. With a ferocious and tireless work ethic, Walker completed his first fourteen city headlining tour. "We all have things that we want to do and goals we wish to attain, to do so we have to point, aim and release. Because it's when we shoot that we can finally hit our TARGET."
