Growing up in a Christian household, the sounds of G’s childhood is that of prayer and gospel music. His aunt Andrea sung in the church choir
and the soulful hymns left a huge impact on the young Ghetts. His mother recalls him as a three year old jumping out of her arms and running
to the stage at a religious camp meeting in front of 15,000 people. It was then she says that she knew he was destined to be performer. Ghetts
had also developed a sense of rhythm from his father who surrounded himself with jazz music. Once the beat got into him G would beating out
rhythms on the tables and the floor in his house until his mother was driven to the point where she had to get him a keyboard to satisfy his
musical curiosity. It was on this that Ghetts first experimented with writing songs as he’d try putting verses together over the pre-set
percussion demos. « hide |
