Godric Johnson is an American artist / game designer / musician born & raised from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The world's first proclaimed “Game-hop artist,” at the age of 6 he was heavily influenced by his father in art. He often copied his father's stick figure drawings and then went on to make his own artistic creations. As a youngster growing up he drew his favorite comic book & video game characters numerous times and shared them with friends. Seeing continuous development in his craft, his mother always encouraged him to strive for his dreams. His mother & father were always (and still are) a great inspiration to him, who instilled the value of "integrity" into their son. While in high school Godric met Javen Branch, his best friend & business partner. The two met in their high school's drafting class in the fall of 1998 and developed the current group known as "True All Around People" aka TAAP. A comic strip based on their high school life which is currently illustrated by Godric & written by Javen. Godric also had a passion for both gaming & music in his teenage years and in 2002 he wrote his first song with his roommate in college who freestyled. His passion for gaming was so strong that he eventually enrolled in the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, AZ to pursue a bachelor's degree in Multimedia Game Design. When 2003 rolled around he met friend guitarist Ultimatik in his directing class and the two hit it off immediately. Ultimatik suggested the two work on music together, and along with Ultimatik's friend drummer / DJ Dr. Atoms the trio recorded a few tracks together in the studio. In the spring of 2006 he received a bachelor's degree in Multimedia Game Design from the University of Advancing Technology. One year later, spring of 2007 Godric created a new genre of music called "Game-hop" and in the spring of 2008 released his first mixtape bearing the same moniker. Obviously he isn't the first to rap over a video game beat, yet he IS the first to coin the actual term "Game-hop", thus creating something new. A sub genre of Hip-hop / Game design, Game-hop is NOT to be judged on the basis of just rapping over a video game instrumental or gamer inspired lyrics. Game-hop is Godric's own story, style, & perspective in music format. Possessing a background in both game design & a strong passion for the positive facets of Hip-hop culture Godric Johnson IS Game-hop. Godric now currently acts as Co-founder / Lead Designer of True All Around People Inc. a multimedia business now operating out of his hometown Baton Rouge, LA as well as Los Angeles, CA. Godric Johnson is the TRUE founder of Game-hop.
