With two tours and over 250 performances under his belt, GOAT, born Justin Griffith, has been relentlessly building an independent movement since 2005. This elementary music teacher hails from Dallas, Texas, and represents The Intelligent South, bringing soulful indie music laced with melodic and poetic lyricism. PegasusNews.com states, “Each of his songs takes on its own distinct flavor, pulling from varied musical and lyrical sources.” When writing and recording, GOAT (Grades Of Absolute Truth) is a focused musician carefully crafting each phrase to perfection. On stage, he immediately attracts his audience with an inviting, endless energy by combining singing with rhyming, instruments with live looping, and multi-media visuals. Some refer to him as the illegitimate child of promiscuous genres. Some name him one of Dallas’ top independent artists. After checking out his credentials, no one can deny the work ethic of GOAT. Past releases include We Rise Up (2011), Mileage: Retuned (2011), Mileage (2009), The Four Track Sessions: Volume 1 (2009), Dallas Got Next: The Mixtape (2007), and Absolute Truth (2006). He is currently in the studio recording an extremely insightful project entitled senseLESS, which highlights the abuse of our five senses.
