Meet Lord Goldie

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lord Goldie. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Lord , thank you so much for joining us today. Let’s jump right into something we’re really interested in hearing about from you – being the only one in the room. So many of us find ourselves as the only woman in the room, the only immigrant or the only artist in the room, etc. Can you talk to us about how you have learned to be effective and successful in situations where you are the only one in the room like you?
I gave myself no choice but to be my authentic self no matter what. Being a hip hop artist in Nashville, sometimes had me in rooms where I was the only one that looked like me and sounded like me. From the Commodore to Bobby’s Idle Hour on Music Row. They accepted me. Honestly I didn’t care if they liked me or not, but they respected my craft and me as a human being.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I do it all (lol). I perform and record my own music, write with or for others, produce records, produce events, manage other artists, and that’s the tip of the iceberg. The most exciting elements about it is putting out new music and performing. I’ve made an impact in Nashville by being a real performer backed by the baddest band in the land, MUJA (@mujamusic). As far as events go, Cypher Sundays is in the rise in Nashville. We put them on every 4th Sunday I the historic Jefferson St area. Before you know it, every artist and producer in The Who’s who of The Ville will have set their footprints in Bonafyde Boxing Gym!

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Stay consistent in some sort of way to stay relevant. Whether it’s showing up to networking events, releasing music or doing back to back shows. Be open to evolving. Change is constant everyday, every second. Don’t get lost in the past. Put the work in no matter what. That’s self explanatory. Practice is important. So make sure you’re learning more about your craft, rehearsing, and staying in shape as best as possible.

Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?
Let me be myself. My parents both came from a church back ground. So you know I did as well (lol). Being someone who one would call different in that era of the early 90’s, they could’ve easily disowned me but they didn’t. My dad knew to take me to the guy clothing stores. My mom said hey I know it’s not right, but I love you no matter what. All that lives with me until this day.
