MY NAME IS BENEDICTINE ALJOSHA BLAAUW BETTER KNOWN BY THE STAGE NAME GOD GLO
BORN IN THE CITY OF GOLD, IN THE MONTH OF JULY IN THE YEAR OF 1993 DAY 5TH A YEAR BEFORE THE BORNFREE GENERATION OF DEMOCRACY WHICH I HAVE NOT FULLY ENJOYED THE PREVAILAGE UP UNTIL THE CURRENT PRESNT.
I’VE BEEN A MUSIC LOVER ALL MY LIFE, ITS’ NOT ONLY WHAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD AS A PERSON BUT IT ALSO KEEPS MY SOUL FED, BEING EXPOSED TO AN EVENT AT ONE (WHICH I WAS IN THE AUDIENCE OFCOURSE ADMIRING THE LIVING ART) OF THE ART GALLERLIES IN JOHANNESBURG NAMELY THE ONE IN JOBERT PARK (NOT FORGETTING THE CULTURAL EXPIRIENCES IN THE PARK ON WEEKENDS FROM DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE). WHERE I WITTNESSED SLAM OR SPOKEN WORD BEING DONE I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH WORDS NOT JUST ANY WORDS BUT SPOKEN WORD AND HIP HOP MORE SPECIFICALLY RTHYM AND POETRY, NOT JUST ANY RTYHM AND POETRY BUT CONSCIENCE RHYTHM AND POETRY.
NOW THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING BECAUSE PEOPLE, INFACT CLOSELY ONE OUT A FEW IN MY FAMILY LISTENES TO HIP HOP/RAP AND MY FATHER ALWAYS TOLD ME IT’S A CARRER I SHOULD NEVER PURSUE BECAUSE IT WOULD GET IN THE WAY OF MY SPIRITUAL DUTIES (NOT IN THE EXACT WORDS BUT YOU GET THE MESSAGE), LIKE THE ONE TIME I REMEMBER GETTING A ROLE AS AN ACTOR IN A PLAY HE NEVER CAME TO WATCH, WHICH IN TURN MADE ME FEEL AS IF HE WAS LIKE A PHILLISTINE. ANYWHO AFTER GROWING UP IN THE KAROO FOR THE MOST PARTS OF MY HIGHSCOOL LIFE/ ADOLESCENCE AND CERTAIN DEVOTION GROUPS SHARING THE SAME SENTIMENTS, I WENT ON MY ON JOURNEY WHICH FROM THAT PERIOD UP UNTIL NOW HAS SEEN THE A LOT OF DIVIDENTS, MORE MUSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY THEN FINANCIALLY FROM, BAD BUSINESS DEALS TO BETRAYAL, BROKEN HEARTS, COURT CASES TO SEEKING INDEPENDANCE AS AN ARTIST I’M JUST IN SEARCH OF THAT ONE BREAKTHROUGH TO COMPLETE THIS CHAPTER OF THE GODGLO JOURNEY
