The acronym LJ stands for "Lenard Jr", and the word Gold stands for his representation in society, as someone who has an abundance of wisdom, and with a mission to provide his knowledge to those who are less fortunate. "Knowledge is wisdom, and wisdom is gold" - says LJGold. He was raised by his two loving parents, Lenard Gant Sr and Laverne Ferguson-Gant in Oakland California along with 4 older sisters. Growing up, his passion had been basketball and football; his Lockwood Elementary School team took the second-place trophy in the Eastlake YMCA Winter Basketball League. At 11 years old, he discovered his musical talent of performing and songwriting. In the Spring of 2005, after performing at a talent show at Havenscourt Middle School, LJGold concluded that he wanted to pursue a career as a musician. He began performing at school talent shows as well as youth centers and other events and venues around California. His music expressed his feelings and opinions towards the direction of society, as well as inspiring the youth to never give up on their dreams. A year after finishing high school, he spent his time traveling to schools in California, giving the students free concerts. The tour made a huge impact on many kids lives, inspiring them to pursue their passions no matter their age, and to never give up. Unfortunately, the touring ended due to lack of funds, which led LJGold into writing a self-help book dedicated to those who are in search for their inner happiness.view less
