GOLDIE ART


"Goldie earned his name as a graffiti artist in the West Midlands in the early eighties. His artwork around Birmingham and Wolverhampton was featured heavily in Afrikaa Bambaataa's feature film documentary Bombing (which was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK).

He took part in the largest ever British graffiti art battle alongside Bristol artist 3D who later went on to form Massive Attack. He is also featured in the book Spraycan Art by Henry Chalfant & James Prigoff.

Further to being one of the UK's earliest and most important Graffiti writers Goldie has had great success as a Drum and Bass DJ, producer and actor. 1994 saw him setting up his own record label, Metalheadz. The label was a huge success releasing some of the most important tunes of that era and remains hugely successful and respected to this day..."
