East to the heart of the Midwest, Gon has
begun compiling his multifarious cultural experiences with
inspiration lifted from the pages of authors such as Kurt Vonnegut,
Chuck Palahniuk, and Charles Bukowski, as well as hip-hop artists
2Pac and Nas. The product of which is proving his most valuable
instrument to be his perspective.
In 2005, after enrolling in college only to discover music had
become his passion, Gon and friends founded Urchin Studios.

to be a vehicle to release his music, in hopes of turning his hobby

has developed to include political and social commentary centered on
the cause and effect of global warfare. Charted on his first mixtape,
"Where the Truth Lies: The Moment Between the Intention and Action”,
and the follow-up “Gon With the When”, is the evolutionary process
of artistic growth and vision coming to fruition on his next effort
“Consider Violence”. Listen to
