Personal Life

Early Life

Guilender Pierre was born September 4, 1989 in Kings County, New York. He lived most of his early years in Crown Heights, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, with his mother, Aliete (nee Leandre) and father, Guito. His mom worked jobs off and on, but finally ended up staying home to take care of her family. She was formerly a seamstress that had migrated from Port-au-Prince, Haiti in the early 1980’s. Aliete met his father, Guito in New York, where he was employed as a jitney driver at the time.

Pierre’s love for music appeared to be genetic, his mom and dad were in the choir and Greek's dad played the trumpet when he was younger. At five years old, Greek and his family moved to Philadelphia after his family deemed their Brooklyn neighborhood unsafe.

Greek attended Morrison Middle School in North Philadelphia after relocating to the new location.

In school, he often got into trouble in class for drawing pictures and being unfocused.

His teacher suggested he go to a school for creative and performing arts (CAPA) to expand his creativity.

He ended up moving to Northeast Philadelphia and attending Lincoln High School.

It was there he met his best friend who gave him his first production program, FL Studio, in 2008. Greek then started producing and writing raps in his basement.

Inspiration and Influences

Greek's mother passed away due to kidney failure caused by lupus. After the loss, he has worked zealously to bring awareness to lupus and the need for a cure. He actively participates in the annual Lupus Foundation of America Walk, donating money to the cause.

GreekDaGod is inspired by all types of music and is a fan of the following artists:

2018-2019: Producing & Songwriting

Near the end of 2018, Greek realized he needed to change so he looked for a new chapter in the south or west coast, especially since the west coast had more avenues of exploration.

GreekDaGod started working with more singers, songwriters & producers to get placements for records.

Never Forget was one of the GreekDaGod mixtapes he favored.

He had recorded collaborations with a lot of underground artist and designers.
