Early Life
Goodymoog is a rapper, beatmaker, and ambient producer living in LA. Born under New Mexico’s vast skies, Goodymoog grew up immersed in the quiet rhythms of the desert—sweeping sunsets, wind-carved mesas, and the distant hum of mustard coyotes. Rooted in patience and exploration, Goodymoog often wanders the desert at dawn, attuning himself to its subtle frequencies. Blending modular Moogs, analog synths, and field recordings from the Chihuahuan Desert, he crafts immersive soundscapes that blur the line between dream and reality. His debut EP, New Mexico, distills the vastness of sky and sand into meditative, weightless tranquility.
Musical Style and Influences
"I find the wind to be a constant source of inspiration in my music. Its fluidity and unpredictability echo the organic soundscapes I aim to create. The wind, like the ambient textures I explore, moves in waves—sometimes gentle, sometimes forceful—bringing an ethereal quality to my compositions. I draw from its ability to shift seamlessly, much like how ambient music flows between moments of tranquility and intensity. The sound of the wind itself—its whispers, howls, and rustling—invokes emotions that I translate into melodies and atmospheres, capturing its essence in the spaces between notes."

2024-2025: Sickwiththeflow
Sickwiththeflow is a raw and unfiltered account of all the things that make me sick to my stomach - toxic friends, strained relationships, excessive overthinking, low self esteem ... but it’s also about finding my rhythm in the middle of all that noise.
TBD:Warp Drive
Warp Drive is a collection of songs that forced me to face my worst nightmares and destroy them. I now understand that under the veil of anger is sadness. And, under all that sadness is a longing to change our warped vision of the past.
