About the artist: Goldenchild’s art of performing came from his experience with local talent shows in The Bahamas, displaying his unique vocals and high energy stage shows in his early teens. At the age of sixteen, Goldenchild began looking at his talent, and love for the art of rap as something that could possibly become a career. He hooked up with a high school classmate and formed a group called “Dangerous Minds”. As a group, “Dangerous Minds” began recording, performing, and opening up for acts such as Elephant Man, Patra, Ludacris at Stop the Violence concerts, a local concert series hosted on Grand Bahama Island. At the height of their local fame, the second member of the group became incarcerated. This event threw Goldenchild for a loop forcing him to give up or start from scratch. Determined to keep his dream alive, Goldenchild began recording solo material and was encouraged to take tracks to the local radio station by his growing fan base. His song “Hot Girls” had a lot of commercial appeal with it’s catchy hook and age appropriate lyrics, and soon began being requested on a daily basis on the local radio station. After a few months of radio spins, there was a demand for more material and at this point the idea for a mix tape was born. When the mix tape was completed Goldenchild was a senior in high school and had a huge dilemma on his hands, seeing that he was also a stand out basketball player. After some convincing from his parents and basketball coach, Goldenchild left for college on a full basketball scholarship. A year into his studies, Goldenchild felt something missing and decided to leave the ball behind to once again pick up the mic. After a brief stint back home in the islands, Goldenchild set his sights on moving to Florida which was becoming a hot bed for the movers and shakers in the entertainment industry. Upon arrival in Florida, Goldenchild began collaborating with the local group and soon became it’s fourth member. After recording a few mix tapes and being on compilations with some of Miami’s finest, Goldenchild’s marketable image and star quality was being noticed. People began requesting solo material from the island born and bred MC. With a growing fan base and online following, Goldenchild is now poised to put The Bahamas on the map as a solo international artist.
Goldenchild is proving that hip hop is not just a type of music but a culture
that he has not only embraced but has become a part of.
