“With my music, I’m telling my own story. I’m expressing my own view. I want for people to not feel like they’re alone. I want people to reflect on their own lives and think about the things that they want and figure out how to obtain them. Also for people that aren’t satisfied with what they see around them and in their communities, I hope it motivates them to start taking small steps to change those things.” — Goapele

About Goapele
Goapele Mohlabane, an American soul and R&B singer-songwriter, was born on July 11, 1977, and her estimated net worth is $2 million. While attending school in Nairobi, Kenya, Goapele’s Jewish mother, Noa, wed South African political exile Douglas Mohlabane. Goapele was a student at the Berkeley Arts Magnet School in northern California as a young child, where she got active in a number of organizations and organisations fighting racism and sexism.
She joined the Oakland Youth Choir in high school and the musical ensemble Vocal Motion. She spent a year and a half studying at the Berklee School of Music in Boston after graduating from high school.
Full name: Goapele Mohlabane. Born: July 11, 1977. Raised in Oakland, California.
Goapele has worked with West Coast MCs like Aceyalone, E-40, Zion-I, and Mac Mall in addition to her solo projects. In addition to Dwele, Clyde Carson, and Mos Def on the song “Different,”
Career in Music
She self-released her debut album in 2001 under the title Closer, and later that year, she and her indie record label, Skyblaze Recordings, agreed to a distribution contract with Columbia Records. Even Closer, her formal major-label debut album, was released in 2002 after Closer had been enlarged and repackaged. She co-wrote and co-produced the entire album, which primarily combines jazz and R&B. Four studio albums have been released by her to date, the most recent of which, Break of Dawn, was released in October 2011.
In “Break of Dawn,”
R&B artist Goapele avoided displaying her hotter, more seductive side on her first three albums. Despite singing a lot about love and passion, she has also made social and political consciousness a major part of her songs. We learn much more about her as a person in her fourth studio album, Break of Dawn. Ironically, despite having a wide spectrum of co-writers and producers, Break of Dawn, which was released in the US on October 25, 2011, is by far her most personal album to date. Even yet, this album does a better job than her previous ones in portraying her as a real, living person rather than a one-dimensional figure.
Political & Social
Goapele is renowned for including social and political criticism in her works as well as for vocally supporting human rights. The Oakland-based Ella Baker Center for Human Rights presented her with the Human Rights Cultural Hero Award in 2006.
Strong as Glass, Goapele’s fifth studio album, was released in 2014. The lead single, “Hey, Boy” with the accompanying music video, was made available on YouTube and features Snoop Dogg. Goapele’s net worth is projected to reach $2 million as of 2023.
