My mom earned a Masters in English & Education and my dad, a veteran, a BFA in Music. Their skills combined in my brother and myself and I’ve been songwriting music by ear since I was 12. In Middle School I began writing love songs and was waiting to be discovered as the next great balladeer songwriter if you can imagine that. But in my college years one day, I heard the call as clear as a whisper. It started when God said, “You’re writing songs for Me now.” I knew it was the Lord deep in my spirit but I questioned, “I’m no great musician, or singer and I don’t know how to write that kind of music?” And just like Moses I was schooled with, “Write the kind of music you write, but the songs of your heart will be about Me now.”
And from that moment on, I did. My name is Troy Goss.
IN HIS SERVICE,
CXI
CXI was envisioned in 2001 by music composer Troy Goss, practically a Southern Californian since the age of three, and musically involved in band and orchestra since the fourth grade. Years later, his mature taste for smooth jazz and R&B composition would be dramatically and forever directed toward Christian music. But it would not be fully realized until influenced by joining his church ensemble group where he learned true worship and better vocal harmony. Still later, being introduced to the fantastic complexities of all modern electronic music by a gifted rhythm composer, the idea of exploring, making and blending this music with a uniquely powerful Christian message set the rest in motion.
