GOH NAKAMURA
With aspirations of becoming a hotshot guitar slinger, Goh Nakamura attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music in the 1990's, studying Charlie Parker and Bach while most of the world listened to Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Countless nights of stressful bar-tending spun quiet acoustic sessions inspired by the lyrical artistry of songwriters like Elliott Smith, Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello helped Goh develop his knack for writing dreamy Beatles-esque folk pop numbers.
While making a name for himself playing small clubs in San Francisco's singer/songwriter scene, Goh wrote and recorded his first album, "Daylight Savings." He hustled the home-burned CDs out of a suitcase until his break-through came in 2007 when his video for "Embarcadero Blues" was featured on YouTube's front page, racking up over a million views in its first few weeks and earning him an immense international fan base. This led to Goh's music being featured prominently in films such as Ridley Scott's A GOOD YEAR, AMERICAN GANGSTER, and BODY OF LIES. The title track of "Daylight Savings" was also included on the soundtrack to the Robert Benton film FEAST OF LOVE starring Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear.
