Biography

Goodvin was born in Spirit River, Alberta, Canada. He took interest in music after winning a singing competition at a local shopping mall at age 12. His family later moved to St. Albert, Alberta by the time he was a teenager. At age 25, Goodvin moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue his career in country music. After performing in local venues, he was signed to a songwriting contract with Warner Chappell Music, which led to him writing the track "Out Like That" on Luke Bryan's 2013 album Crash My Party. Scottish-Canadian country singer Johnny Reid then began mentoring Goodvin and hired him as an opening act. This led to him signing a contract with Warner Music Canada in April 2016.[1]

The label issued Goodvin's self-titled debut album in 2016, which accounted for three entries on the Billboard Canada Country charts. "Lonely Drum", one of the singles, was certified platinum by Music Canada and received a nomination for Songwriter of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards. In 2019, Goodvin released his second album, V, which includes the singles "You Are" and "Bars and Churches".[1] The album received a Juno Award nomination for Country Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2020.[2]
