Garrett Nelson founded G78 Music in April 2020. The Logo was influenced by Garrett’s father who died of colon cancer April 14th of 2020. The letter “G” standing for his name, and “78” for the year of his Porsche 911 that he and his father built through Garrett’s high school career. 2025 Garrett rebranded to Yokwe Music. His father spent a part of his life on an island in the Marshal Islands becoming a highlight he always looked back on. The word “Yokwe” translates from Marshallese to “hello”,”goodbye”, “I love you”, and “you are a rainbow”. A memento and symbol, Garrett holds close to his heart as he pursues a career in music that his father always supported.
