GoldFord isn’t just making music: he’s creating a soundtrack for life. Following the release of Space of the Heart from September 26th, 2025- A global tour was launched, selling out venues worldwide.

But behind the noise is a father and husband who took a leap of faith for his dream of a blossoming music career. While pursuing your dream is a collective aspiration, GoldFord describes his as an emotional contrast that is a “Juxtaposition of being so in love with what's going on with tour and feeling like the thing that I've always wanted is coming true… and a pretty stark difference with leaving my family and my wife to figure out how to be a single mom for the weeks that I'm gone.” His honesty adds a human layer to touring which contrasts with the usual glamour portrayed.

Space of the Heart was born through a transformative 18 months in which GoldFord became a husband, a father, and an ever-evolving musician. I was able to sit down and speak with him after just coming home from the tour.

“My daughter is 19 months old. She's walking and talking and is so much fun. But she also is aware of when I'm out there and when I'm here.”

“I want to show my daughter that it's important to follow your dreams and do what you love, and sometimes that means more distance for the family, but hopefully… One day you will understand and it will be an example for you.”

Listeners have found themselves returning to his songs as a soundtrack for navigating adulthood, adjusting to change, or fighting for someone you love- Space of the Heart has provided a space for people to rest, release and reflect.

“I think that these songs have been products of really deep emotions.”

“I'd like to think that it's resonating because it's true.”

Space of the Heart guides listeners through a landscape of emotional turbulence, growth in change and gradual acceptance. It’s raw and powerful, and its honesty provides room to admit that even though you don’t know where you’re going, you’re okay with it. A reflection of his ongoing commitment to keep moving.

“I think that like each one of these songs, whether that's Space of the Heart, or whether that's Let it Hurt or like those are all just little pieces of the spectrum of going through it that becoming a father and becoming a professional artist at the same time provided.”

Change is a constant in GoldFord’s journey. It was necessary for him to uproot comfort and step into uncertainty. The more he ran towards financial security and corporate routine, the more it pulled him back from being who he truly was.

“I found music when I was later on in life. Scared the shit out of me, but it also filled me up with so much purpose, and it made me feel like things I never felt. So I knew I loved it, but the practical, logistical side of me was like, No, that's not like a real thing… that's a hobby. And then the more I ran away from that… what I thought was like security, which for me was like financial, money. Like, how do I take care of myself?”

This internal conflict pushed him to the brink of a realization that started to reshape everything:

“I reached this place where I had this really deep realization of, like, I'm just wasting my time to try to make money to buy things that I don't need, but I'm not excited about.. the Tuesday in my life or whatever, right? And then I made a record, and I really leaned into music, and that brought me into this place, and then some cool things happened, which allowed me to do music.”

“There’s always going to be another sales job.” He tells me. But the chance to chase the thing that terrified him wouldn’t linger forever.

“I don't want to, like, die secure and full of regret, like, oh shit, I didn't push myself into the uncomfortable thing. And so I think that I wasn't really worried about a week or two months or a year ahead of the time. I was really worried about… this day right here. Like, how do I take one more step forward and take one more step forward?”

Leaving his corporate job was a sudden leap of faith, but a gradual return to what felt intuitive. As he slowed down, he centered in stillness. Raw, authentic creativity started flowing as he created from an honest place.

“I started making all this music from this honest, pure place, without caring about what would happen or who listened to it or why.”

“You don't have to do anything, but like, feel and deal… right from the place of…where you're at. And I think that that is ultimately what totally set me on this new place which feels so simple, like obvious, like, Oh, why didn't you just do that in the beginning? And it just took some time to trust it.”

Orange Blossoms emerged from this creative clarity- and the timing was what you could only describe as poetic.

“My daughter was born on April 1st, and on April 2nd is the day that Orange Blossoms went crazy viral. And so we joke and say that we had two kids at the same time. One was my career and the other was my daughter, and managing and navigating those has been humbling to say the least.”

GoldFord understands the fear in that decision intimately, which is why I decided to ask for his advice on those who share understanding.

“You don't have to worry about the house and how it's going to be built… If it makes you feel good, you take the first step forward. If it makes you feel good, you take another step forward… If you love the thing, keep doing the thing, believing in the thing and then watch the doors open… Keep walking through the doors… Grab on to what you think should be happening, because it's always happening way bigger and better than I ever expected… That is one thing that I have learned is to not expect anything, because you always get blown away when you're in that place.”

Through all of the uncertainty of becoming a new parent, a rapidly accelerating career, and life on the road, GoldFord expresses the importance of staying grounded when it feels like the rug is being pulled out from under him. Mindfulness has become his anchor, though he’s quick to admit that sometimes you need to run into a wall to spark that awareness.

“I think that the idea of being grounded and breathing and having meditation time and mindfulness time is the goal. It's certainly to have it when I'm home, integrating that into the road as we're moving on the go.”

With all the ever-shifting parts and vibrant energy that touring can bring, GoldFord prioritizes being present with his family by integrating them into the experience virtually- allowing them to feel as though they are experiencing this with him.

“I do voice notes and videos to them all the time of where I'm at and what I'm doing is, I think, a really great way for me to have stayed aware of where they're at while I'm experiencing this thing halfway across the world.”

Presence can be reflected in “Love Something to Lose,” written for his daughter. It’s an emotionally striking exploration of love and fear as a parent.

“I thought that my first song to my daughter would be this, like, ooshy-gushy, you're the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. But what ended up coming out was like- Holy shit, I'm terrified now that I could lose you and I will never recover, and how vulnerable I feel because of that.”

As GoldFord continues to create from vulnerability, it becomes the foundation for his artistry.

“I think that vulnerability is like the easiest way to connect with someone.”

“The more you can be open and just raw with your experience, the more the right people you know will find each other through like-minded or shared experience, which is, I think …the whole point of this whole thing.”

Looking forward, GoldFord steps into a new chapter as he embraces simplicity and experimenting with his music to create “So much with so little." Whether that's lyrically or melodically- he's pushing the boundaries of his sound.

“We did it without any rhythm instruments, so no drums… it's called the sunset sessions… to see if the songs themselves can still…do what they do.”

He aims to provide a feel that will be inspirational and embraces the playfulness of being an artist.

GoldFord carries gratitude through his presence and his words. It radiated through our conversation. For GoldFord, the dream isn’t just performing: It’s connecting, creating, and resonating with the sound.

“This human experience”, he says, “Is about getting to know yourself and your ability so you can be more unapologetically yourself and doing it publicly or as an artist… It's a wild experience.”

“You're trying to synthesize what is the pure and what is the ego and what is like the fear part of something being taken away… I don't take this for granted in the slightest bit, and it's the fact that I get to do this every day and show up and… Process my own shit to be able to like become a better person and connect with people deeper and be of more service is unbelievable.”

He’s sonically making his mark on the world by choosing to always move forward and find courage in his own vulnerable truth.

“I'm so grateful that this is something that I get to do… I'll just continue to have more and more fun and incredible experiences doing this… I just thank you for allowing me to do this and for supporting this journey and connecting with me, because it's an opportunity of a lifetime.”
