Garrett Goodman

Garrett Goodman is a musician from Dublin, Ireland. After initially picking up a guitar at age 12, he then focused on singing and song-writing. He has since added piano, bass, ukulele and vocal percussion to his repertoire.

He honed and developed his act by doing hundreds of live performances per year at local venues. This gave him the confidence to record his music and 2018 saw him enter the studio and track 4 songs that would become his debut EP, Melody. It was mixed and co-produced by Peter Eades (Finbar Furey) and mastered by Billy Farrell (The Corrs, Ryan Sheridan).

He then recruited local musicians to help bring his songs to life at live shows. They also busked heavily on Dublin streets and were featured on Dublin City Today’s YouTube Channel numerous times. These performances have garnered 50k+ views to date. They also won “best group” in the Busker Fleadh 2019, and were awarded a headline slot in Whelan’s in January 2020, which they sold out. They recorded and released many new songs together too.

Covid 2020 then saw Garrett write and record more at home, and perform live streams instead of physical shows. He released 6 new songs in 2021, with 3 accompanying music videos. These have gained 50k+ views on YouTube and almost 50k streams on Spotify. Two pieces reached the semi-finals of The International Songwriting Competition 2021, 2023 and 1 reached the semi-finals of The Unsigned Only Competition 2022.

On the merit of the above work, the Arts Council of Ireland awarded him a grant to fund further recordings in 2023. Three new songs he has created with this have already gained tens of thousands of streams on Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube.

Since the pandemic lockdowns, Garrett has adopted a more recording artist/producer focused role, preferring to consistently release new music whilst honing his production and songwriting craft. He takes social media seriously, and has amassed tens of thousands of followers and millions of streams across all platforms and services.

Since 2024, he has collaborated with new co-producers and performers, to broaden his horizons and challenge himself artistically. Now in 2026, he is very excited to release new songs soon which will go in a different direction than before.

Garrett has placed in the semi-finals of the international songwriting competition every year 2019-2025, with many different compositions in various styles. Join him on discord to be the first to hear his new releases.

Garrett has never received formal music education, but has studied privately at Walton’s School of Music, then under renowned vocal coach Robert Stevenson (Rihanna, Justin Timberlake) and music mentor Patrick Stefan (Aby Coulibaly, Luisa Sobral). He has also been guided by videographer Sam Kwan in his music video productions.
