Guldemond grew up in Quadra Island in British Columbia, with sister and bandmate, Molly. [2] The siblings did not play music together in their youth, only deciding to start a band as adults.

[4] He has discussed sobriety as an important influence on Mother Mother's sixth album, No Culture, particularly the single "The Drugs". [5]
At music school, Guldemond decided to start a band based on vocal-driven pop songs.

The trio played as an acoustic act in Vancouver in January 2005 before adding drummer Kenton Loewen and bassist Jeremy Page to form Mother, a 5-member band.
In the fall of 2005, they independently released a self-titled album. [7] [8] Later, in October of 2006, the name of the band was amended to Mother Mother.
Guldemond played an unnamed character in the movie Hot Tub Time Machine alongside ex-Mother Mother bandmate Jeremy Page. [9] [10]
Guldemond is also an experienced music producer, having worked with Hannah Georgas on her album, This is Good. [11]
In 2022, Guldemond started his solo project GLDMTH (pronounced "gold mouth"), focusing on acoustic songs with lyrics portraying beauty in everyday life.[ citation needed ] In August 2022, Guldemond released the single "The People" followed shortly by a self-titled LP. [12]
