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. High school graduation brought a pivotal moment when he downloaded FL Studio, altering the course of his life. Having spent his formative years in Atlanta since the age of 11, he found abundant inspiration to embark on a serious career path in music production, merely scratching the surface of his artistic journey.

Within just two months of crafting his inaugural beat, Gabe secured an internship at a studio, propelling him toward entrepreneurship. Six months of studio maintenance, artist recording, and honing his beat-making skills paved the way. Music opened doors to three years of exploration, including photography, clothing design, and event organization, further enriching his artistic palette. During 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, he established his brand, GOATWRLD, featuring the beloved cartoon characters he had crafted over the years. His artwork swiftly graced merchandise, selling out in a mere three months.

Gabe's signature style harmonizes auditory and visual elements, reminiscent of cherished childhood cartoons. His playful artistic approach infuses even his darkest pieces with a whimsical freedom. His art serves as a defiant response to societal expectations, a bold testament challenging the conformity imposed on adults.
