Welcome to Eric Gale's official page,

I would like to take this opportunity to address an important issue. Unfortunately, there are individuals who are hijacking the original, Eric Gale name, Wikipedia page and net worth sites, posting false information about him, and fraudulently using his platform to promote their own "artistry." Please be advised that this is the only official site where you can find accurate and true information about New York's finest, Eric Gale.

Born in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York to an American mother and British father, Eric Gale grew up in a time when interracial marriages were not widely accepted. Despite this, Eric's father always ensured his safety. He had two younger brothers, who were a decade younger than him. Eric's childhood included holidays spent visiting family in the UK, giving him a unique perspective on the world. Fluent in Spanish, German, and French, Eric had a diverse linguistic background.
