About Me

The moniker "G. Liu Jr." is a somewhat rhythmically punctuated abbreviation of the name Gary Liu Jr., who is a person who was born in California, in 1976. Some songs began to marinate in the greater Los Angeles area, further fermented in Philadelphia, and then began kind of a groggy resurgence, having swam out to Honolulu.

In Los Angeles, G. Liu. Jr. was inspired by sprawl; in Honolulu, by martian-looking flora; and, in Philadelphia, mainly by onions. In the end, if you'll allow it, he'd very much like to sing songs during your next Atlantic passage, Arctic expedition, Death Valley breakfast, Nebraskan power outage, or even just a bout of cramped listlessness, in your dim, too-small apartment.

Not to boast or anything, but G. Liu Jr. holds a pretty solid 2% idea, of where he'll go to, in the next couple of years. He lives in Honolulu, Hawaii.
