Ob3 Da Goat is an independent artist whose music is inseparable from his life story. Born premature in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, his first moments were marked by survival—a two-hour ambulance ride to receive life-saving medicine that wasn’t available locally. Raised in Mount Croghan, a town of roughly 135 people, and spending formative years traveling between South Carolina and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Ob3 Da Goat was shaped by two worlds that forged his perspective, resilience, and sound.
Raised by his grandparents after being placed in their care by social workers, he grew up without his parents in the picture. By 16, he had dropped out of high school, earned his GED within a month, and began working multiple jobs to support his music dreams. Those early sacrifices are embedded in the DNA of Ob3 Da Goat’s music—raw, honest, and driven by faith.
