Goya, hailing from Boyle Heights, CA, east of the 6th Street Bridge, embodies the belief that everyone is an artist in their own right. His perspective sees creativity not confined to traditional realms but flourishing in everyday roles—the cook, the gardener, the social worker, the hair tech—all contributing to the world’s artistic tapestry. It’s a universal thread connecting individuals who share the conviction that their work adds value to the world, making them a net positive force.
Influenced by diverse artists like PARTYNEXTDOOR, James Fauntleroy, and the legendary Vicente Fernandez, Goya draws inspiration from their ability to convey familiar emotions in novel ways. Like Party and James, he endeavors to be a wordsmith, crafting music that resonates deeply. Vicente Fernandez’s impact, particularly his unparalleled vocal performances, and unapologetic vulnerability, leaves an indelible mark on Goya’s artistic journey.
Goya’s foray into music began in 2018 when he uploaded his first track on SoundCloud. Over the past 5-6 years, he’s cultivated his passion for music while navigating moments of writer’s block and seeking inspiration in other art forms. Beyond music, Goya established ‘MESSage Magazine,’ currently in its fourth edition, showcasing his multifaceted creativity. His venture into clothing with ‘DO MORE ART.’ and exploration of film photography underline his commitment to artistic expression beyond the confines of a single medium.
Boyle Heights, a community brimming with potential but often facing a scarcity of opportunities, serves as Goya’s canvas. Through his endeavors, he aims to inspire his community to reach for greater heights, encouraging them to “DO MORE!” His journey becomes a testament to resilience, demonstrating that creativity knows no bounds, transcending challenges and empowering individuals to strive for something more.
Goya’s artistic odyssey is a celebration of diversity, resilience, and the transformative power of creativity. It’s a reminder that art is not a privilege reserved for a select few but an inherent part of the human experience, waiting to be discovered and shared by all.
