Gerald Wickremesooriya (Sinhala: ජෙරල්ඩ් වික්රමසූරිය; 1920 – 9 January 2006) was the founder of the Sooriya Record label that produced many popular hits from the late 1960s to the early 1980s.
Gerald pursued interests in Agriculture travelling every weekend to his estates located in southern Sri Lanka.
Due to partial blindness, Gerald, driven by his wife in their Austin A 40 would not only walk every inch of his fields but on Sunday's sell vegetables grown in his back yard at Colpetty, at the weekly Jathika Pola, held at Bullers Road, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka.
He was able to recognize and pick talent and transform them into stars in the Sinhala Pop scene: Golden Chimes,[4] Mendis Foursome along with Maxwell Mendis,[5] Stanley Peiris and The Fortunes[6] and produced countless hit songs for which Sooriya is well known today.
He contributed to the Sri Lanka Council for the Blind, while his wife Dulcie continued to look after the interests of Sooriya.
