Gaël Evers

Gaël Michael Evers is a singer-songwriter whose music carries the weight of lived experience and the lightness of hope. Born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and raised in South Africa, he grew up between cultures and traditions, always searching for a voice that felt like home.

Now based in New York City, Gaël writes songs that are equal parts confession and conversation. His sound blends late ’60s and ’70s Soul and R&B with the grit of Chicago Blues and the intimacy of Acoustic Rock. Influenced by Leonard Cohen, The Rolling Stones, Sting, Alabama Shakes, and D’Angelo, his music is raw, soulful, and melodic, with hooks that linger.

After his divorce, Gaël chose a straightedge life to stay present and rebuild with clarity. For him, music is also about home. “It’s not where you were born, it’s where you belong,” he says. That restlessness and longing for belonging run through his songs, giving them urgency, honesty, and tenderness.
