Amaury Gheysens (born January 15, 1985) is a Belgian guitarist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Brussels.

Born and raised in Brussels alongside his brother, Amaury discovered music at an early age. At the age of 10, he began playing guitar with his friend Shaka (from the band Shaka y Dres), initially focusing on French repertoire. This early hands-on approach quickly evolved into a more formal musical education.

At 12, Amaury enrolled in a classical guitar program at a music academy in Brussels, where he studied for six years. This period allowed him to develop solid technical foundations while expanding his musical vocabulary and discipline.

At 16, he discovered rock and metal, genres that would deeply shape his artistic identity and playing style. A year later, he joined a metal cover band, for which he also began composing original material. Although the band eventually disbanded before those compositions could be fully realized, this phase marked his first serious steps into songwriting.

After several years of playing without a clearly defined project, Amaury was invited to join a pop-rock cover band performing English and French repertoire. It was within this context that he met Emmanuel “Emry Ghill” Gerald, who joined the band as a replacement singer. A strong musical and personal connection quickly formed between them.

Amaury and Emry soon decided to leave the cover band and focus on original music as a duo, a decision that proved to be a major turning point in Amaury’s career. His musical influences broadened significantly, blending his rock and metal background with more acoustic, folk, and pop sensibilities. On the duo’s debut album Shadows, Amaury composed the instrumentals for “Moment of Creation” and “From My Own Hell”, and co-wrote “Lunatique”.

Alongside metal, Amaury draws inspiration from a wide range of guitarists and songwriters, including Andy McKee, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and Neil Young, shaping a style that balances technical precision with emotional expression.

In September 2024, shortly after the release of the duo’s sixth single, Amaury suffered a fracture to his right wrist, temporarily compromising his ability to play guitar. Currently undergoing rehabilitation with a physiotherapist, this setback unexpectedly opened new creative paths. During his recovery, Amaury began exploring piano and other instruments, expanding his role in the band’s sound design and production, and paving the way for new sonic directions in their upcoming work.
