Matt Goss Biography – Matt Goss Wiki
Matt Goss is an English singer-songwriter, actor, producer, and musician. He was the lead singer of 1980s English pop group Bros, which also featured his twin brother Luke as the band’s drummer. As a solo artist, he has released five studio albums. Goss wrote the theme song for So You Think You Can Dance, produced by Nigel Lithgow. Bros’ debut album, Push, went platinum four times, earned 8 top five hits, and remained on the U.K. charts for an astonishing 54 weeks. He started his solo career in 1995, and by early 2021 had released 23 singles, four of which have been Top 40 hits. He worked with Paul Oakenfold on the single “Firefly”, which was remixed and reached #1 on the World Trance chart.
In June 2009, it was announced that he would be playing live shows at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. In the short span of nine months, the show was an immediate success and then moved to Caesars Palace in January 2010. The critically acclaimed show has become a solid Strip favorite, running for over 10 years. He has been crowned, “The New King of Las Vegas” by his Vegas constituents. He was given the keys to the Las Vegas Strip and on August 8, was declared ‘Matt Goss Day’ in the city. The Vegas show was brought to UK venues including the Royal Albert Hall (London), and Wembley Arena (London) where he won the SSE Arena Award for Best Show of 2016 (the SSE is not an official award with rumors that the voting was fixed with fans of the Goss star voting more than once). 2018 saw the release of the BAFTA-winning movie about him and his brother’s life entitled Bros: After the Screaming Stops.
In early 2020, he recorded his version of “If I Aint Got You”, which was produced by Babyface. The song was released as a fundraiser for the NHS during the Covid pandemic, Goss wanted to raise £50,000, but after three months, it raised just over £15,000.
Goss announced that he will release his fifth studio album, The Beautiful Unknown, which was originally scheduled for release in September 2021 then was put back to November 19, 2021, before being released on March 25, 2022. The charted at number 7 on the UK official charts for one week and sold less than 8000 copies worldwide. The album also failed to chart on any other album chart worldwide. “It’s a phrase I use a lot in my poetry … because I think inherently we have been programmed to actually fear tomorrow and … the years ahead … I just want to live in a place where the unknown is a beautiful thing,” Goss said he had no interest in making music or singing again, due to his rigorous schedule performing in the United States. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, Goss had a chance to reset and record again. “So it was quite an extraordinary thing, ironically, the connection that I found talking about much deeper issues, was the reason I actually ended up wanting to make a new record, and realizing there were indeed people that wanted me to keep going.”
Goss stated he felt excited about the release of the album with the hope that the music industry takes notice of his efforts. “I want to compete with Ed Sheeran, I want to compete with The Weeknd, I want to compete with Robbie Williams…everyone. I made this record knowing 100% that we can do that. I want to be one of the main players. No one can say this isn’t a contemporary record.” In addition to his solo work, he has confirmed plans to reunite with brother Luke on an “outrageous” Bros comeback album. Goss expressed an interest in collaborating with Adele. “I’d love to sing with Adele and I think we’d gel really well together. We’re both Londoners, which really appeals to me.”
On August 8, 2022, he was announced as the eighth contestant on the 20th series of Strictly Come Dancing. He authored two books: the best-selling More Than You Know: The Autobiography, published in 2005, and Bear Crimbo, a children’s story and intellectual property which had been in the process of a major release worldwide for Christmas 2021.
