This is my place! This is where I'ma brake it down to ya! I'll explain my name, I'll tell you what I feel about my music and where its coming from. How it makes me feel and why I do what I do, further more why I wont be moved to something else or compromise my belief in what I do, who I am as a person, my image or my faith in GOD!

Now first thing is first, I'm tired of people getting my name wrong! Its not difficult, My name is 24KT (Karat) GOLD! Not K.T. as in Kate. So when you see the name remember its 24KT (Bling Bling) GOLD!
My name came about in high school. I always liked gold. The earrings, the chains, the rings, the gold chips on the teeth I had them! So Goldie was the name from whence it came. While working with a producer about 5 years ago we were discussing names. He was like if your gonna be GOLD what's the purest kind. I was like 24 Carat! I flipped it by replacing the C with a K and abbreviated the Karat down to KT. Thus 24KT GOLD!
I am a solo artist because there is too much drama when you work in a group. I am a thug out shorty that refuses to compromise what I believe in. I sing, I write and rap and would love to be the British chic that broke the US.
I have been singing solo and writing since 98. Before that I was in a Gospel choir from the age of 13. Music has always been part of my life from before I was born. I would kick the life out of my mother whenever she played music. My first performance was when I was 3 years old. I stood in front of the whole school on a summer’s day and sang my heart out. I wasn’t shy or nervous. I felt made to do it.
At 13 when I started going to church and in turn singing with a choir, it gave me the joy I needed at the time to deal with things that were taking place at the time. Singing made me happy. It was an emotional outlet. When I sang, nothing else mattered. I was giving a part of me to everyone and it made me feel great. From there… it went to me going solo and it gave me an unspeakable joy and confidence. When I am on stage and everyone’s eyes are on me, I have their full attention, I can tell them anything. For that moment, they belong to me.
As I write my songs I can tell people what I want them to know, how their actions make me feel and who I am as a person. Through my music, I can make sense of situations, close chapters of my life. My music is the very essence of me.
