Born on September 26, 1977 into an eccentric family heavily involved in Eastern culture and philosophy, producer GONE BEYOND grew up in and around centers devoted to art and spiritual practice in New York and California, eventually landing him in the eclectic multi-cultural city of Santa Fe. The moniker, Gone Beyond was derived from the Tibetan mantra "Om Gate Gate Para Gate Para Sam Gate Bodhi Swaha." In translation the mantra or prayer means "Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond, Gone Beyond the Beyond, In Complete Enlightenment."
