Our Story
Go2 was created from a lifelong connection to music, resilience, and the belief that every voice deserves a platform. For founder Anthony Woods, music wasn’t just entertainment — it was family, culture, and identity.
Growing up in the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area, Anthony spent his early years listening to his father, John Henry Woods, a local DJ known throughout the Bay. At just 6 to 8 years old, Anthony would hear his dad testing equipment throughout the house.
“Test 1-2-3… Test 1-2-3…”
Those words became the soundtrack of his childhood.
But when Anthony’s parents divorced at age eight, the music stopped. The daily rhythm of speakers and turntables disappeared from his life. Searching for a creative outlet, Anthony turned to music in another form — learning violin and drums, and attending school trips to the Oakland and SF Symphony.
Reconnecting With the Music
At 12–13 years old, Anthony reunited with his father. This time, his dad invited him to learn to DJ, placing him behind the same equipment he once grew up hearing. Anthony was hooked instantly. His father promised to gift him the DJ setup — a promise that gave Anthony hope for a future in music.
But that moment never came.
The equipment was sold, and with it, Anthony’s musical journey came to an unexpected stop. For years, the disappointment silenced his passion.
A New Beginning
Years later, Anthony realized something powerful: he didn’t need anyone else’s equipment or permission to follow his purpose. He could build something of his own — something bigger than where his story started.
That vision became Go2.
