Share
Childhood Dreams to Rockstar Aspirations
From an early age, Kid Goon knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life: become a rockstar. It was the one dream he would write about on every school assignment asking, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” For Kid Goon, one moment solidified that vision forever—the first time he saw the Transformers movie in theaters. As the credits rolled, the music video for “What I’ve Done” by Linkin Park started playing. For a kid seeing such a powerful song and performance on the big screen, it was a moment of clarity. “That’s what I want to do,” he remembers thinking. That introduction to Linkin Park ignited a passion for music that would eventually shape his career and sound.
Leveling Up: The Next Project Is Coming
Kid Goon is now deep in the process of creating his next project, and it’s shaping up to be his strongest work yet. He’s determined to elevate every aspect of his music—lyrics, hooks, and overall professionalism. Each song is crafted with intention and purpose, tackling themes of living freely without letting outside opinions interfere. The project will highlight what it means to “live in your own peace of mind and not let anyone ruin it.” Fans can expect anthems that encourage resilience, independence, and self-love—timeless messages wrapped in Kid Goon’s distinct sound.
Creative Challenges and Triumphs
The creative process hasn’t always been smooth. A year ago, Kid Goon faced a serious setback when he lost his job, leaving him without the funds to keep his music on streaming services. Plans for his project were derailed, but the extra time on his hands became a blessing in disguise. He poured his energy into writing and ended up creating an impressive collection of songs. Though writer’s block hit from time to time, the hunger to create never left.
Now, with his music back on streaming platforms and the momentum regained, Kid Goon is excited about the future. That period of struggle and perseverance is a testament to his commitment to his craft.
Back to the Stage: Live Performances and Future Shows
Kid Goon is set to close out the year with a bang at the 10X show, and he couldn’t be more excited to be back on stage. While he doesn’t have any formal tours locked in for the upcoming year, fans can rest assured he’ll be performing around Los Angeles, seizing new opportunities as they come. Whether it’s events for Something Dope for the People or We Own Hollywood, Kid Goon will bring his signature chill yet high-energy vibes to every performance.
For those lucky enough to catch him live, his shows strike a unique balance: “Anyone can expect a chill vibe yet with high energy when I perform live… if that even makes sense lol.”
A Unique Sound: California Beaches and Reggae Fusion
When it comes to standing out, Kid Goon knows he’s creating something special. His music combines California reggae vibes with dope guitar playing, melodic flows, and a modern touch of hip-hop, pop, and alternative influences. This unique blend is designed to capture the spirit of California beaches while offering something fresh and unheard.
“I genuinely feel like no one’s ever really done reggae the way that I want to do reggae,” Kid Goon explains. While some songs might come close, he believes his sound is entirely his own—something that sets him apart from every other artist in the scene.
Lyrics That Resonate
Kid Goon’s writing style is a reflection of his personality: authentic, relatable, and purposeful. His lyrics often blur the lines between deeper metaphors and straightforward storytelling, making them perfect for fans who want to relate or use a line as a caption. While he isn’t afraid to tackle harder topics, his ultimate focus is staying true to himself and sharing messages that inspire others.
The central theme in much of his music? Not letting anyone or anything stand in your way.
Musical Inspiration: Winter Sounds and New Ideas
In different seasons, Kid Goon finds himself drawn to different sounds. Now that winter is approaching, he’s been listening to a lot of chill indie, bedroom pop, and jazz rap—genres that fuel his creativity. These influences bring new ideas and energy to his music, allowing him to explore fresh approaches and expand his sound while staying grounded in his signature style.
Collaboration and Growth
Although Kid Goon often writes his songs alone in his room, he’s been enjoying the collaborative process lately. A recent partnership with El Neefa—an engineer and artist—has brought a new level of excitement to his creative process. Together, they’ve been crafting songs that sound better than ever, setting the stage for Kid Goon’s next chapter.
Patience and Perseverance: The Road to Success
If there’s one lesson Kid Goon has learned from pursuing music, it’s that nothing happens “on time.” Success doesn’t follow a strict schedule; instead, it comes to those who stay ready and keep working. “Everything kind of just works itself out, and I’ve just been trying to keep up the work so when it’s time for something amazing to happen, I’ll be ready.”
While he continues working toward his goals, Kid Goon has set smaller milestones that hold personal meaning—like playing at iconic venues such as the Whiskey a Go Go and the Rainbow. These are places where some of his favorite bands have performed, and he’s determined to leave his mark on those legendary stages.
Words of Wisdom: Passion and Drive
For Kid Goon, staying true to his vision and passion is the key to happiness. His advice to others is simple yet powerful: “Stop caring what other people think, and never ever give up on what you’re passionate about for any reason. Without passion and drive, what’s the fun in life?”
Whether it’s a massive crowd or just one person listening, Kid Goon deeply appreciates every supporter who connects with his music. “To anyone that sees my vision and enjoys any part of my music, I wholeheartedly thank them.”
The Road Ahead
With new music on the horizon, a commitment to his craft, and a sound unlike any other, Kid Goon is poised to make waves in the music scene. Blending genres, pushing boundaries, and staying true to his California-inspired roots, he’s creating music that’s both timeless and entirely his own.
Keep an eye on Kid Goon—this is just the beginning of a journey that started with a dream and a spark of inspiration in a movie theater years ago. If his story proves anything, it’s that perseverance, passion, and originality are what it takes to make it in the big leagues.
