Barry Courts - aka Mr. Gold
Tevin Courts a.k.a. Mr. Gold was born and
raised on Doulton Avenue in Huntington, West
Virginia. As a child he was involved in his
church choir but started making his own
music after his father passed away in 1996.
He grew up listening to rap and r&b music,
but decided to take the rap route as a way of
expressing his words in an influential way. Mr.
Gold is not only working towards a career in
music, but with a 3.2 GPA he will soon
graduate Marshall University with a civil
engineering degree. Through his music, he
hopes to set a positive influence for his two
children and help them understand where he
comes from. Jay-Z and Biggie Smalls are Mr.
Gold’s biggest musical influences because
he feels a connection to the way they were
brought up and just like them, Mr. Gold will
continue pursuing his music dreams until he
makes it to the top.

Robert Johnson - aka R.O.B
Rob Johnson a.k.a. R.O.B. was born and
raised on Doulton Avenue in Huntington, West
Virginia. His love for music started at an early
age when he realized that when done
correctly, music is the most powerful form of
expression humans have. Public Enemy
made him love hip-hop, but the first CD he
ever owned, Souls of Mischief “93 til Infinity”,
made him realize he could be a rap artist. R.O.
B. has had a love for music his entire life, but
he became involved in making music in 1996
after his cousin gave him turntables and
records; once he flipped those records over
and saw instrumentals he could write to, there
was no going back. Mos Def, Brother Ali,
Atmosphere, The Police and Bob Marley are
just some of R.O.B.’s musical influences, but
his favorite kind of music is the one where you
can feel the heart of the artist in the songs.

Band Bio
Tevin Courts a.k.a. Mr. Gold and Robert Johnson a.k.a. R.O.B. are the forces behind the Doulton Gang, a hip-hop duo born and raised in
Huntington, West Virginia. Both R.O.B. and Mr. Gold grew up on Doulton Avenue and were instilled with an appreciation of music as well as a
strong grasp of the power of words. The two met as kids on Doulton Avenue but started making music together in 2004 under the production of
Victor T. Collins, another resident of Doulton Avenue and seasoned musician. The Gang recorded a little heard but highly respected 22-song
demo in 2004, but before production could begin on the debut project, unforeseen circumstances forced the group apart. After a hiatus as a group,
the Doulton Gang reunited in early 2009 and quickly returned to the studio. As stronger and focused musicians, the Gang recorded a debut single
and anthem for Huntington’s local university, Marshall University, titled “U Herd.” R.O.B said “Marshall is a fixture in the mind of anyone from or even
visiting Huntington. We wanted to provide motivation and spirit to campus as well as establish ourselves as a 'Marshall-like' fixture in the music
scene. When people think Huntington hip hop, we want them to think The Doulton Gang.” Currently, The Doulton Gang is building a yet to be
titled full length debut album on VTP Records. Mr. Gold said "Quality, consistency, and content are the three pillars of anything
