"Hailing from Deep Ellum, Grades Of Absolute Truth is a soulful indie songwriter with a unique brand of positivity. The elementary school teacher by day embeds conscious lyricism and self-awareness into every calculated move. With an impressive track record of 6 independent tours and over 700 performances under his belt, he has shared the stage with artists ranging from Lupe Fiasco, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and B.o.B to Leon Bridges and The Revivalists to Everlast, Mod Sun, and Wax to Cody Cannon of Whiskey Myers. How's that for variety? Thriving in the grey area, G.O.A.T. tends to attract music lovers that "listen to a little bit of everything." Described as the illegitimate child of promiscuous genres, he draws inspiration from an eclectic mix, including Brother Ali, CeeLo Green, Alice In Chains, Garth Brooks, Counting Crows, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The diversity is obvious when you dig in. Expect the depth of an introverted poet, the precision of a perfectionist, and the relevance of a leader with an emphasis on concept projects."
