GoldFord writes soul music rooted in truth. His raw, unvarnished songs, equal parts introspection and catharsis, grapple with heartbreak, healing, and the quiet revelations that come with growth and maturity. Raised in St. Louis and now based in L.A., he spent a decade mired in corporate America before a devastating loss cracked something open. Music, once a distant dream, became a means of survival. “I was more afraid of dying with regret than I was of failing,” he says of following his dream at 30. That fear lit a fuse. Since then, GoldFord has built a devoted following with his emotionally charged vocals and timeless style. His breakout single “Upside Down” offered a first taste of virality, while “Orange Blossoms,” inspired by an illuminating moment of presence under a fruit tree, has surpassed 50 million streams on Spotify alone. Tracks like “Ride the Storm” (33M+ Spotify streams) and “Walk With Me” have found homes in major ad campaigns, film, and TV. But for GoldFord, it’s not about placement. It’s about connection. “This is how I sort through my shit,” he says. “The music reflects back who I am.” With a new record on the way and a festival debut at Austin City Limits looming, he’s stepping into the spotlight, one soul-baring song at a time.
