Timeline
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 Wickremesooriya died on 9 January 2006 at the age of 86.
A secret in his life was that Gerald was blind in one eye, due to a sports accident in his mid-teens. Gerald lost his vision completely in 1981 due to a failed cataract operation. He contributed to the Sri Lanka Council for the Blind, while his wife Dulcie continued to look after the interests of Sooriya.
Gerald pioneered in offering royalties for music creators under the Intellectual Property Rights in Sri Lanka's music industry, which was unheard of in the 1980s.
The weekly Sooriya radio show and live concerts featuring the stars of the Sooriya label were one of the most popular and sought after shows in the country. The “Sooriya Show” in 1974 was produced by Gerald on a floating stage at the St. Joseph's swimming pool which had shadow dancing basing dancers on the diving boards of the pool.
In 1948 Gerald started his career in the Plantation sector by joining EPA Bogala Estates Ltd. He ventured into his own business “The Children’s Bookshop” in 1959. Originally dealing in the sale and distribution of Children's books, he went on to sell vinyl records, which eventually led him to his next venture: The Sooriya Record label.
Gerald Wickremesooriya was born in 1920 at Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka. After his early education at Dharmasoka College Ambalangoda, he completed his education at S. Thomas' College, Mt. Lavinia.
