Biography

Goode rose to local fame for his first single "In The Beginning", which featured on 5FM's Top 40. This led to him signing with a local dance record label, SheerDance, under which he released his first album, Coming Up for Air in 2001. "In The Beginning" also prompted Purple Eye Records to approach Goode, who allowed Ferry Corsten to remix the track, which went on to the UK Singles Chart (#33, 2002) [1] and MTV's Music Video Chart. At 21, Goode was signed to Pete Tong's London Records, who promoted "In The Beginning" in the Buzz Chart, and showcased the track on Danny Rampling's Weekly Top 10.
