<p>Goldie is a music legend; a producer and DJ, graffiti artist and actor, instantly recognisable for wearing gold grills on his teeth. In the 90’s he became a pioneer of jungle and drum and bass music in the UK and launched the now legendary music label Metalheadz with DJ duo Kemistry &amp; Storm. He released his ground breaking album Timeless in 1995, which went on to sell 250,000 copies. He dated Björk and Naomi Campbell. His success was immense and his impact and influence hasn’t stopped since.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Born Clifford Joseph Price to a Jamaican father and Scottish mother, Goldie was raised in children’s homes and foster families from the age of 4. During his time in care, he was physically and sexually abused, which he discusses here. The man Annie speaks to today has sought to heal from his past and tells us how. He now lives with his wife and youngest daughter in Thailand and spoke to Annie from there about the many twists and turns in his life.</p><br><p>Goldie's two memoirs can be bought here:</p><p>https://www.waterstones.com/book/all-things-remembered/goldie/9780571332090</p><p>https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nine-Lives-Goldie/dp/0340824786</p><br><p>Should you be affected by any of the issues raised in this episode, in the UK, The Samaritans can be reached on 116 123.
