Meet The Team
Jonathon Hollins
Chief Executive Officer
Jonathon was born and raised in Tampa, FL. Singing in his church choir, performing in plays, and learning instruments developed his love for the arts and performing at a young age. While in school, Jonathon also found a liking for math and numbers. Aware of his love for music and math, he chose to explore both career paths to fulfill his passions. Jonathon started composing music for Jefferson High School marching band, while focusing on the trombone. During this time, Jonathon also participated in the Academy of Finance, which is where he learned the importance of understanding money and how it works. After high school, Jonathon went to Pensacola for the University of West Florida to continue his study of finance. He began to build his financial career at Wells Fargo. While at Wells Fargo he built skills in financial planning, investing, budgeting, and essential financial literacy. As the financial career started to grow, Jonathon connected with fraternity brother Shawn Lynch, who shared mutual love and passion for music. Under the monikers Jon H Bravo and Swole Hammy, Jonathon and Shawn created GODY Ent to start producing and distributing music. Since then, the pair have put out mixtapes, albums, and developed artists. Jonathon now uses the combination of his financial and entertainment knowledge to assist artists with cash flow, investment opportunities, and strategic business efficiencies.
Shawn Lynch aka Swole Hammy
Chief Audio Engineer
Born Shawn Lynch, Swole always had an interest in music but was so heavily involved with school and sports that he never found enough time to commit to this interest. Throughout his life, music of any and every genre interested him. He seemed to be drawn to it. It wasn’t until the 10th grade Swole started making music of his own. He tried out a bunch of different DAWs but found FL Studio and never looked back. He began making beats and realized that even though he had no foundation in music he was naturally able to create quality instrumentals which attracted the attention of some artists in his current city, Pelham, AL and some surrounding cities. Just as he was starting to get more into music, he accepted the opportunity to attend the US Naval Academy and play football there. He attended the Naval Academy Prep School first and this is where his name, Swole, originated. He put on 30 pounds at the prep school and one of his friends from back home, Ben Bostick, who also attended the school said, “Ima start calling you Big Swole” and it stuck. During college Swole continued to produce, write, and make songs with friends but as a hobby. It was not until he graduated and began a career in the Navy that he realized what his true calling and passion was. At this point he decided to put more time and effort into every aspect of music and make connections in order to grow and gain experience. He has been dedicating all of his efforts towards his goals in music since.
