Gerald Vreden | Author, Producer & Writer
Close
A cosmic rebellion rooted in the Caribbean, forged in Amsterdam.

Hiphop by nature.
Cosmic by design.

I am Gerald Vreden, author, director and mythmaker. Creator of His Story of the World, the novel series, and Rise of the Mafu, the graphic novel series. Two distinct stories within one award-winning universe.

I build cinematic worlds rooted in Afro-Caribbean heritage, street-born experience and ancestral memory, designed for books, screens and shared cultural space.

These are not just stories. They are worlds to step into.
