Happy New Year, GPCU 🎉 This is a special post. Last night, I was blessed to hit the stage with Big X Tha Plug for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest in Las Vegas. It was a huge moment. But the most powerful part? One of our own GPCU members, @Rachel Francis , was on that stage with us. This was Rachel’s very first TV performance — and she showed up like a pro. She: - Learned the parts - Came prepared - Conducted herself professionally - Used tools and mindset from GPCU to deliver under pressure And she killed it. This right here is the vision. This is why GPCU exists. To help musicians be ready when the moment comes. Rachel — congratulations. This is just the beginning. GPCU family, please congratulate her and encourage her to keep going 👏🏾🎸 Proud of you. More wins on the way. — Damien “Dammo” Farmer Good People Club University 🤝🏾

What’s up Good People! Hope everyone is well. I want to ask y’all something: Did anybody see that post Robert Glasper made about musicians and singers over-doing it? What’s your thoughts on it? Personally, I loved it. It was real and it was good advice. If you’re a working musician, let’s be honest: Chops, chops, chops — how has that really worked out for you? Did having chops get you the gig you wanted? Or help you keep the gig? I love chops. I love when somebody can pull from the bag. But a lot of musicians don’t know how to use their chops in context. Most musicians overplay. Wrong time. Wrong space. Wrong moment. Let me ask this too: Do you think chops actually matter on a gig? And if they do matter — what type of gig are we talking about? What type of musician are you striving to be? Should your chops reflect that goal? Or should your chops reflect what the music needs in the moment? Let’s talk about it. Sound off below. I want to hear your real thoughts. I attached the video for anyone who hasn’t seen the Robert Glasper clip.

Good People, Good People, tap in‼️ I want to talk about our sound. So I’m posting a quick gear check from my rig I use with Alicia Keys. Here’s what I was running: - Fender American Pro II Precision Bass V (5-string) - Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass (5-string) - Moog Voyager for keybass - 1964 In-Ears - Small mixer to run both bass + Moog clean - Fender Rumble 800 Head - Two Fender 4x10 Cabs - Boss Tuner x2 (one for the bass, one for the Moog) - Yamaha Kicker on the cab - Two bass stands Sidebar: Bassplayers, please tune y’all basses. Looking and sounding crazy when it’s flat. We can’t be out here like that. Let’s talk: What are YOU playing? What’s your chain? What sound are you going for? Drop your setup below and let’s build. Bassplayers – Tap In. 🤝🏾

Good People, Good People‼️ I wanted to give you all a quick update — I’m pushing our live call just a little bit so I can make sure it’s set up right and that everything runs smooth for you all. I want this call to really serve you — not be rushed. The new date/time will be posted by tomorrow once I lock in the setup details. In the meantime, if you have any questions or topics you want me to cover on the call, drop them in the comments below 👇🏾 Appreciate y’all for rolling with me — I want this experience to be right. – Dammo 🎸 #GoodPeopleOnly
