About DEVO’s Gerald V. Casale

Gerald Casale is a Grammy-nominated and multi-award-winning composer, singer, musician, and music video director. He is the co-founder of DEVO and the architect of the band’s most iconic hit songs, such as ‘Whip It,’ ‘Freedom of Choice,’ and ‘Beautiful World.’  His inventive music videos have inspired the likes of Pee-wee Herman, Kids in the Hall, Amy Sedaris, Mike Nesmith, and Monty Python.
