About S.Gold
S.GOLD (birth name Steven Lavern Cameron) was born on the south side of Raleigh, North Carolina in 1986. Having been raised in some of the roughest areas in the “Capital City” Steven grew up surrounded by drugs and violence and these issues unfortunately also infiltrated his home life. His mother battled drug addiction throughout his childhood which caused him to be shifted back and forth between her and his grandparents until 1997 when his grandfather decided to maintain custody in order to ensure that he would graduate high school.
Never considered one of the “cool kids” and a virtual loner in high school, Gold used poetry and music as an escape, writing poems for girls he had crushes on and even penning poems for his friends to give to their girlfriends. Music always played a significant role in his life but his musical journey officially began in the summer of 2001 while spending time at his uncle’s house who worked part time as a DJ. His uncle would play beats while Gold freestyled, trading rhymes back and forth with one of his uncle’s longtime friends. It was then that S.Gold realized he was actually a talented budding emcee.
In 2003 his close friend solicited Gold to pen a couple of verses for his mixtape. During that time he rapped under the moniker GD (short for Goldie, describing his complexion) and the whole school was blown away by his guest appearance on the mixtape. His classmates said he sounded like Jay-Z (one of his musical idols) and at the urging of one of his friends, GD was replaced with S.Gold after S.Carter.
S.Gold has shared the stage with some of hip-hop’s underground giants including Kooley High, Sean Boog, Nervous Wreck, Mic Savvy, Kid Daytona, Backbone of Dungeon Family and a host of other artists. He is a staple in the Raleigh-Durham hip-hop scene and is embraced by veteran emcees and newcomers alike not only because of his lyrical prowess but also because of his professionalism, his sincerity and by being an all-around great guy. By increasing his digital footprint with social media and doing more shows outside of North Carolina, Gold intends to continue to expand his name and his brand, further perfecting his craft in pursuit of his dreams. His most recent project, The Storm (a follow-up to his successful 2010 release, The Forecast), is slated to do just that, having garnered the attention of a plethora of domestic and international DJs and hip-hop blogs and being named one of the top Carolina releases of 2012.
