C D Golden, also known as ETO- (Extra Trerrestrials Only), is an innovative musical artist introducing a unique genre he calls Yerofunk. His musical roots stem from two influential figures: his father, the legendary gospel singer Kermit Golden of the Baltimore Travelers, and his mother, Margaret Baily, a talented and jazz keyboardist and guitarist, both hailing from Baltimore. He began his musical journey at a young age, playing various instruments in church alongside his siblings, then joining his father’s gospel group and performing with his older brother in live clubs throughout Baltimore. ETO was accepted into the renowned musical program at Frederick Douglass High School, where he quickly distinguished himself as the top percussionist and earned a 4-year admission to the prestigious John Hopkins Peabody Conservatory’s Preparation Percussionist Department, receiving multiple awards for musicianship and performance. He also earned a scholarship to the world-renowned Berklee School of Music in Boston before moving to Los Angeles to work with his aunt, Karolyn Ali, producer of Tupac’s Insurrection. There, he gained invaluable experience as a writer, producer, composer and performer. In Los Angeles, he toured with multiple musical productions.

Upon returning to the east, he founded
