“Prism Tats was a moniker that served me well but was always going to be a barrier preventing myself and the listener from engaging with my songs in the personal way that I have always strived for,” Van der Spek explained. “My music has always been an entirely solitary creation, just me writing and recording alone at my studio Gary'z Place. However now during the pandemic, losing my day job and having nothing else to do to maintain sanity but make music, it seemed obvious to me that the time had come to say goodbye to Prism Tats and embrace the inevitable.”
Now he has shared his first song as Gary V titled “Eternal Returns (Déjà Vu)”. In the song’s colorfully psychedelic new video, aliens from beyond the 5th dimension pursue mind bending experiences.
