Garry Goin is an accomplished guitarist, songwriter, producer, national recording artist, and
entertainer with more than 35 years of experience in the music business.
Born in Cleveland, OH, at an early age Garry knew music would be his life’s journey. As Garry
was studying music in college, he had an epiphany that the best way to learn his craft (Music &
The Business of Music) would be THE HANDS-ON APPROACH. Soon after, Garry and his band
moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL. As a band leader, he developed an understanding of personalities
and how best to manage personnel, then extended his learning to focus on agents, managers,
club owners and performance agreements. With the help of his brother Charles, they became
The HOTTEST band, called Phantasy, in South Florida for 5 years.
Years later, Garry’s journey took him to Memphis, TN. Garry became the music director for
MVP House Band for Captain Bilbo’s for 5 years. At Captain Bilbo’s, Garry was introduced to
David Porter, The Hall of Fame songwriter. David became Garry’s mentor and business partner
for 15 years. Garry then became the SVP of Robosac Music Publishing, and later the SVP of A&R
International Pocket Records (IPR).
Garry Goin has collaborated with some of the industry’s best talents, including Justin
Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Maurice White, Ray Parker Jr, Isaac Hayes, Dee Dee Bridgewater,
William Bell, Kirk Whalum, BeBe Winans, Jonathan Butler, Gerald Albright, En Vogue, Howard
Hewett, Shalamar, James Ingram, Bruce Carroll and David Porter, to name a few.
A talented musician and band leader, Garry has also directed several major productions and
served as music director for many high-profile programs and groups, including The National
