ABOUT

Meet G.Aware.Nerd.
Growing up, G always felt there was something special inside of him. However, his home life was tumultuous, and programmed beliefs of low self-worth within him. It took him until his adulthood to realize this--he has been psychologically numb for years.
From his introspection, G learned that being special means little without self-worth (i.e. the ability to live one's specialness CONFIDENTLY), so G dedicated himself to feeling good about himself in every moment. He discovered that self-worth comes from knowing the truth about yourself, despite the falsehoods that society has programmed into you, and that everything about you is beautiful, it is legendary.

The music I make is rooted in Hip-Hop, Funk, and Soul, however I have made Pop, Techno, Electronic, and Ambient tracks in my tenure as a Producer. Via the sciences of neuroplasticity and epigenetics, it has been proven the music actually restructures the brain and even DNA! In light of this knowledge, my goal with music is to create uplifting content that expands awareness and inspires, that opens minds and hearts. In a way Musicians are what I like to call "Right Brain Scientists"; we don't just create catharsis from a stressful world--we actually help to create a world people don't need catharsis from.
