GaTa plays himself on the FXX show "Dave" and he is the hype man for hip hop artist Lil Dicky. He is the CEO of G.E.D, an LLC that stands for many things including "Gettn.Every.Dolla. Grindn.Every.Day and Gettn.Educated.Daily". GaTa has the acronym tattooed across his chest.[2]

Lil Dicky and GaTa first met in 2014 through a contact they both knew in the industry. Lil Dicky was looking for a hype man early on and liked the chemistry he felt with GaTa. Lil Dicky's cool temperament complimented GaTa's desire to get things done fast: [1]

"I actually learned a lot from Dave, he taught me about patience.

I used to be in a rush to get things done and eager to put things out.

But watching him create has really helped me with the things I'm trying to accomplish."

He's releases his own music too, in 2017 he released an album called Ghetto Brilliance. On September 18th, 2019 GaTa released an album called Locked In on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc... The 15 track project has Tyga accompanying GaTa the whole way through. GaTa has also featured on the Lil Wayne tracks "Just Me And Her" and "Stacks On Deck".[4]

He's mostly focused on acting though, even though it came out of the blue for him.

GaTa was surprised when Lil Dicky approached him to be on his show: [1]

"t was presented to me one day on tour.

We were chilling and going over the set list when he told me that he wanted to be part of his TV show.

First, I was like "Damn, that's crazy," but after he started putting it together and I had to audition, I knew it was really going down."

As a hype man, GaTa just wants to hype people up and get them passionate about things.

He said: [1]

"I hope the fans take away that you can do anything that you put your mind to, no matter what social challenges or stereotypes you face.

Never stop believing in yourself no matter what you're doing."
