Goapele, an Oakland native, is a visionary in modern R&B, known for her captivating blend of soul, jazz, pop, and moody basslines. Her music transcends genres, resonating with universal truths and the complexities of life, love, and the human experience. Born to a South African father who escaped apartheid and a German-Jewish mother from New York, Goapele’s diverse heritage influences her music and worldview. Her formative years at Berklee College of Music honed her talent, leading to her debut in 2001 with the anthem “Closer.” Her albums, including Even Closer, Break of Dawn, and COLOURS, showcase her evolution as an artist, exploring themes of healing, self-worth, and transformation. Beyond music, Goapele is a passionate humanitarian, advocating for social change and championing causes like racial justice and women’s rights. Her lifestyle brand, Dreamseeker, reflects her commitment to authenticity, curating products inspired by her synesthesia. Goapele’s music has been featured in films, TV series, and documentaries, and she has performed alongside legends like Prince and Stevie Wonder. She continues to inspire through her music, advocacy, and storytelling.
