From Chicago, raised in what many would call the “hood,” the “ghetto,” or the “trenches,” Goalden Chyld, aka G.C., is as authentic and genuine as they come. Growing up with four siblings, a single mother, an absent father, government assistance, and even living in shelters from time to time, G.C. was given absolutely no silver spoons and no handouts, just a unique education that taught him the truth of his people's great history and the truth of the system we currently live in, which inspired him to say, “We can’t keep living like this!”

Goalden Chyld desires freedom, justice, and equality for all, regardless of creed, class, or color. Understanding that music can be used to inspire, his goal is to use his art to help bring about the change he wants to see. “He would rather his music not be referred to as conscious,” he says, “until a new genre is made for my style, let’s just call this REAL MUSIC. You know, you know!”
