Early life

Earley was born in Parma, Ohio and raised in suburban Cleveland. His parents owned and managed a trucking company in the west-side of Cleveland. Just before turning six years old, Geoffro began piano lessons. Starting off classically trained, the piano eventually inspired him to pick up several instruments including guitar, bass, and saxophone. By middle school, he was writing and recording music and began singing and writing lyrics. Before attending Berklee College of Music in 2001, he intensively studied Jazz theory during his High School years. A fan of many genres of music, Geoffro took interest in writing and producing projects from Hip-hop to Rock to Reggae and began making demos on a 4-track cassette recorder along with a reel-to-reel.

Career

Earley's stage name, Geoffro "Right On" Cause, was inspired by his afro hair cut while attending college in Boston. Geoffro moved to Los Angeles in 2007 in pursuit of a career in entertainment. From performing his original music with his band, playing piano in Hotel lobbies, to acting gigs, Geoffro had his hands in many projects. After lining up an audition called "Say it again bro" for a session musician/producer, Geoffro signed a publishing deal with Mike Caren under APG/Atlantic Records in 2011.
