Afrobeats: With An S

In this episode, GoodGirl LA takes us inside her journey of artistry and reinvention, beginning with her early love for writing lyrics and the sparks of inspiration she found watching icons like Lady Gaga. She speaks on how intuition shapes her fashion, her performances, and the worlds she creates—always balancing beauty with chaos. GoodGirl LA unpacks the symbolism behind her use of knives, not as mere shock value but as an emblem of power and rebellion against expectations placed on women. She describes her music as both weapon and elixir, a force to cut through limitations and awaken creativity in others.From worldbuilding her latest project to reframing the “good girl” narrative as defiance and liberation, she shares why her work is bigger than herself. Ultimately, GoodGirl LA’s story is one of embracing authenticity and inspiring the next generation to take up space boldly.
