$urferr Gold was born in Detroit, MI. As a young boy, he relocated with his single mother to Marietta, Ga. Even as a young boy $urferr Gold displayed a talent for showmanship, at one family reunion for example the young $urferr Gold got up on stage in front of the whole family and started singing yes Jesus loves me after which the talented young boy asked the rhetorical question, Can A Man Sing! Causing his whole family to erupt in cheers and laughter. This event would foreshadow $urferr Gold’s chosen entrepreneurial path as a Rap Artist in years to come. At the age of 15, the then adolescent $urferr Gold was introduced to the classic work of art “Reasonable Doubt” by Jay Z. When $urferr heard the way Jay wove his tales of self-belief he was forever changed. It was at this time that $urferr Gold began to hone his listening ear as a fan of the greats. He later spent time in Seattle which also influenced him. He would soak it all up over the years developing a distinct ear for only the finest hip hop and rap. Finally as the teenager developed into a young man, $urferr Gold began the task of creating his own unique rap style while simultaneously crafting and strengthening his unique image as well. Thus Thawtful-Records was eventually born. Thawtful -Records is a play of the name of the Egyptian god of magic and writing Thoth. It also represents the level of thought that $urferr Gold infuses his lyrics and rhythms with.
