Gunnar Gehl

Best described as a story-teller, Gunnar Gehl sings about what we’re all feeling. Paying attention to the small moments within the ordinary, Gunnar preserves those feelings through writing and singing, making for some pretty remarkable music.

What can you tell us about your musical journey so far?

It’s been absolutely amazing. It’s a crazy, crazy industry, and I’m just making music and performing for people who want to hear it!

Let’s talk about your latest song, ‘Heartbeat’! What inspired the track?

‘Heartbeat’ is a twist on heartbreak. Instead of being sad and dwelling on this breakup, it was a switch of emotions into saying I’m done wasting time on people like you. (I know, kind of savage!)

Any memorable moments when creating/ recording it?

Yeah, we actually created this song really quick. It was incredibly fun, and just a real solid easy process to write this one.

What’s next, music-wise? What should fans be expecting?

Right now, I’m just taking the time to create really good music. Once we have that, everything will fall into place. For my fans, just be patient with me… it’s all going to be worth it, I promise!

When it comes to stage presence, which artist(s) inspire you?

I would say I get a lot of my presence from John Mayer. The way he plays music, whether it be 100 people or 100 thousand people... he’s always just playing because he loves music, and I have a similar mindset to that. My actual movement and energy is probably most similar to a Bruno Mars. It’s Gunnar.

What do you hope fans take away from your music?

I hope my fans take away whatever they need from my music. Obviously I write these songs with purpose to my life, but I want fans to hear my music and be able to interpret them in their own way, to their own lives.

Who do you think is killing it in the music scene right now?

I have a lot of respect for many artists right now. I think Camilla Cabello is doing amazing, as well as Ariana Grande, and I think the main reason is the connection that they have with their fans. My fans are family and I think that mindset goes a long way when it comes to the industry.

With a growing social following, what’s the best way for fans to get your attention online?

I try to go through my DMs everyday! I see almost all of my “tagged in” posts, so that’s my advice, but if I get to your DM, I always respond!

What’s on your bucket list for this year?

I want to perform in an arena. That’s big on the bucket list.

Any special message for fans?

Thank you for your constant support. I love you all so much and I can’t wait for this next year!
