She discusses her new single “Pay For It” and her latest EP “Goodie Bag,” breaking down her growth as an artist and what she wants listeners to take from her music. Gwan Goodie shares that she started rapping at just 13 years old, with early encouragement from her mother playing a major role in building her confidence. As a military brat, she explains how growing up in different environments shaped her perspective, sound, and adaptability. She opens up about balancing motherhood while pursuing music full-time, learning patience as an artist, and the transition from casually creating to taking her career seriously. She also speaks on her ability to both sing and rap, and how she’s developed her artistry over time. The conversation also touches on her experience receiving co-signs from Vybz Kartel and Trippie Redd, what those moments meant for her career, and why she believes people should be paying attention to her now. Gwan Goodie further breaks down her Jamaican and Chinese roots, the meaning behind her name, and defines what “progress” means to her as she continues to grow in music and in life. 🎥 Watch more on: https://TPRMediaGroup.com 📲 Follow: @TheProgressReport101 🎙️ Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audiomack + more Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gwangoodie/ https://www.instagram.com/lalaashep/ https://www.instagram.com/theprogressreport101/ https://www.instagram.com/tprmediagroup1/ Website: https://TPRMediaGroup.com Listen to us on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-progress-report-podcast/id1494070183 Listen to us on Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/sho… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-progress-report-podcast-1205536/episodes/philly-artist-gwan-goodie-talks-motherhood-co-signs-from-vybz-kartel-trippie-redd-new-ep-goody-bag-skipping-class/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-progress-report-podcast-1205536/philly-artist-gwan-goodie-talks-motherhood-co-signs-from-vybz-kartel-trippie-redd-new-ep-goody-bag-skipping-class.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
