Erick Gerber is an award-winning modern rock & metal composer, producer, and guitarist based in New Zealand (originally from South Africa).
He has worked across more than a hundred songs for artists worldwide, writing, producing, and arranging music across modern rock and metal. His band Red Helen won Best Album, Best Core Band, and Best Music Video at the South African Metal Music Awards, and a track he produced later won Silver at the International Singer-Songwriter Awards. Several songs he co-wrote have also charted on the DRT Global Radio Charts.
On this channel, Erick breaks down songwriting, finishing music, and the decision-making behind modern guitar-driven songs — with a focus on helping artists move from ideas to finished releases.
When he’s not writing, recording, or playing gigs, he’s usually buried in a sci-fi book or game, or spending time at the beach with his wife and their dog.
