ARTIST BIO
GABETHEGOAT1K, also known as Gabe, hails from Atlanta, GA but now calls Brooklyn, NY home. His artistic creations radiate with vibrant and whimsical allure. His core philosophy revolves around kindling childhood nostalgia as a means of resistance against the pressures of the adult world.
As an only child born in Memphis, TN, Gabe's childhood was marked by transitions between schools, and his illustrations became steadfast companions during those solitary times. Upon graduating high school, he downloaded FL Studio, altering the course of his life. Having spent his formative years in Atlanta, he found abundant inspiration to embark on a career path in music production, marking the genesis of his artistic journey.
Within two months of crafting his inaugural beat, an internship at a local music studio propelled him toward entrepreneurship. Music opened doors to three years of artistic exploration, including photography, clothing design, and event organization, further enriching his creative palette. During 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, GOATWRLD was born out of a lifelong admiration for colorful cartoons and vivid storytelling.
Gabe's signature style harmonizes auditory and visual elements, reminiscent of cherished childhood cartoons in early 2000s American culture. His playful artistic approach utilizes whimsical freedom as a defiant response to societal expectations, challenging the pressures of conformity imposed on adults.
