He has a unique style with a distinctive flow that separate him from the usual East Coast style of rap. He produces varieties of work ranging from tracks for the ladies to anthems for the streets. Da Goat is a street philosopher who raps about his upbringing, environment, lifestyle and current events going on in the world today.


Raised in a single parent household, DA GOAT is the oldest of 3 children in that same home. His mother instilled principles and morals in him that he still values today. She would always listen to oldies and classic hip-hop, which led DA GOAT to fall in love with music at an early age. He was drawn to artist like Jodeci, Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, 50 Cent and New Edition, which is reflective of his music today.


He spends endless nights in the studio while juggling being a father. In 2018, he took a step back from Music, and ended up back in the streets. He eventually realized rapping and being an artist was his calling the whole time. Since then, he has been fully committed to producing meaningful music. He loves the stage and his fans agree. He has done over 200 shows, from rocking houses and local bars to sharing the stage with legends. He lives up to his name, DA GOAT.
