Chloë Goodchild studied music, English and education at the University of Cambridge and the University of East Anglia from 1972 to 1976 and qualified as a music and English teacher.
In the 1970s, Goodchild travelled in Africa, India, Turkey, Europe, the US and Canada. She was influenced by Anandamayi Ma. As a result, Goodchild developed a method of sound and voice, which in 1990 she named the Naked Voice. [1] This combines Indian philosophy and classical music teachings with Japanese martial art movements.
Goodchild has worked with politicians, high-security prisoners, [2] Jerry Hall, [3] [ better source needed ] Oprah Winfrey, Glenn Close, and Angelo Badalamenti. [4] She has performed in several cities internationally, including New York in 2001, [5] Edinburgh, [6] and Dublin in 2012. [7] As a composer, her music is on the soundtrack of Jane Campion's Holy Smoke! [8] [ better source needed ] and in a celebrity performance of The Vagina Monologues in Madison Square Garden. [5]
Goodchild's solo and compilation albums include Devi, Fierce Wisdom, A Thousand Ways of Light and the Grammy Award–nominated Sura. Goodchild and the Rumi poet, Coleman Barks, recorded two Rumi albums: There is Some Kiss We Want and The Glance. Goodchild has collaborated and recorded with composer John Tavener.
