Mills Gotti (born Tavares Mills) is a Midwest artist with Southern roots, born in Macon, GA and raised in Lima, OH. His love for music started young, riding around with his late grandfather, Stanley Mills Sr., letting melodies calm his mind and shape his sound. What began as comfort turned into therapy—music became his outlet during seasons where fitness and discipline couldn’t quiet the depression. Influenced by artists like Loe Shimmy, Blxst, Bino Rideaux, Larry June, and Payroll Giovanni, Mills Gotti blends introspection, motivation, and smooth hustler energy. His music reflects growth, resilience, and real-life ambition. With singles “Keep Grinding” and “Come With Me” out now, Mills Gotti is building momentum ahead of his upcoming album.
