His mother, being a hotel manager, had him around the hotel and Cabaret music circuit since the age of four, where he fell in love with live music and performance. He also spent a lot of time listening to his father’s record collection that included many influential artists such as Stevie Wonder, and Al Green. He credits; Beres Hammond, Maxi Priest, Gregory Isaacs, and Dennis Brown as his major influences.
G Cole moved to Florida in 1997 intending to study law, though he still has not completely ruled it out, he is focused on his music right now. He has just completed his debut album entitled “This Music Vol. 1 Return to Vintage,” for JahGydeYah records, which is produced by Steven “Purpose” Chung.

His music also speaks volumes about relationships, and love, music the ladies will appreciate. When asked why love is such a reoccurring theme in his music, he is quoted saying “hurt and pain are things I’m familiar with, social injustice is something I learnt of, and growing up in a mixed society, class indifference, and problems are things I’ve seen, but when it comes down to it, love is all I really know”.
