Gerardo Daniel Torres Montante (born 15 July 1994) better known by his stage name Gera MX (formerly Gera MXM that stands for Mexamafia), is a Mexican rapper and songwriter. His stage name comes from the first four letters of his real name, "Gera" (short for Gerardo), and "MX" for Mexico. He was ranked number thirty-seven on the list of the "50 Greatest Rappers in the History of Spanish-Language Rap", published by the American magazine Rolling Stone.[1][2]
He was born on July 15, 1994, in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León. At the age of 3, his mother took him to live in the city of San Luis Potosí due to family issues. In fourth grade, he began to take an interest in rap, and by the first year of middle school, he started improvising and attempting rhymes to impress his classmates. He attended several middle schools, as he was expelled from every one he went to. Later, he became involved in gang-related problems, which led him to move back to Monterrey, where he attended high school. Gera grew up listening to Control Machete, Cartel de Santa, Psycho Realm, Akwid, Caballeros del Plan G, and Molotov, who were major influences in his decision to pursue rap.[3]
