Music

In 2008, Godni formed his first music band, bringing together classically trained musicians for an ambitious and unique project. The group held their early rehearsals in NYU’s rehearsal studios, diving into Godni’s original compositions while he sang and shaped the sound. The music they created was a fresh fusion — a genre Godni called Royal C Pop, short for Royal Classical Pop — blending the elegance of classical arrangements with the global colors and rhythms of world music.
The band’s musicians were more than just performers; they understood Godni’s vision and infused it with life, depth, and their own artistry. Over the years, Royal C Pop grew into a small orchestra, with an expanding roster of classically trained players introducing new instruments and textures. This evolving lineup captured the lush, vibrant atmosphere Godni imagined — a sound where symphonic grandeur met the rich heartbeat of cultures from around the world.

Whether on a grand stage or in an intimate room, Godni’s passion for music shines through every note. As a performer, his voice carries more than melody — it carries emotion, resilience, and a deep love for connecting with others through sound.
In this moment, Godni is doing what he loves most: singing from the heart. His performances are never just about music — they’re about storytelling, soul, and stirring the spirit of everyone listening.
As a musician and founder of A Free Bird, Godni knows firsthand how powerful music can be — not only to entertain, but to heal and inspire. Whether he’s advocating for children through the arts or taking the mic himself, Godni performs with purpose, always driven by the belief that music can move the world.

In this electrifying moment, Godni is captured both signing and performing, fully immersed in the energy of the crowd. His passion and excitement are palpable, creating a magnetic connection that fills the room with a sense of magic and possibility.
When Godni sings, he becomes truly himself—his voice a powerful force that ignites both his spirit and those of everyone listening. It’s in these moments on stage that his artistry transcends performance, transforming into an inspiring experience where music becomes a shared celebration of life and emotion.

In 2016, A Free Bird launched the “I Am A Free Bird” campaign—an inspiring music project aimed at empowering children affected by cancer. The campaign featured Falyn Vega, a singer, actress, survivor, and proud alum of AFB, who became the face and voice of the movement. I wrote the song as an anthem of resilience, encouraging children to unite and “fly as one.” I was honored to bring on Grammy-winning Sony Music producer Synematik—known for his work with Universal, Warner Music Group, RCA Records, and more—to produce the track. The final version was mastered by acclaimed engineer Ross Petersen, who has worked with artists including Bruce Springsteen, The Chainsmokers, and the Goo Goo Dolls. The song quickly gained traction as a powerful symbol of creative freedom and strength, with parents, children, and celebrities sharing personal videos declaring themselves “free birds” through art. It was picked up as a radio single and featured in Closer Magazine, amplifying the message internationally. One of the most meaningful moments was performing the song live with Falyn at Madison Square Garden, opening for the WNBA season—a performance that brought everything full circle.
