Early Life
In 1997, Goma's family moved from Boston to Canada with refugee status. [1]
Goma was first introduced to music at a young age by his father. He picked up the keyboard at the age of 7. It wasn't until he turned 12 years of age that he picked up his core instrument, the electric bass. [1]

In 2006, Goma, along with his three siblings formed a band by the name of "The Magical Bunch".[citation needed]
By July 2009, through their father's tutelage and hours of daily practice, the kids were playing a blend of African-inspired jazz, soul, and pop. A year after their first gig, the family band performed at the Ottawa Jazz Festival in Ottawa, Ontario. [1]

[2][3] Goma went on to record four songs and performed under stage name "Chris Tabaro" with the Love Jet. [4]
