Chloe Goodchild is a musician, performer and recording artist.

Biography

Chloë Goodchild studied Music, English and Education at Cambridge and Norwich universities in England from 1972 to 1976 where she graduated as a Music-English teacher with a BEd (Honors) degree. From the late 1970s she evolved her own East-West vocal research, influenced by travels through Africa, India, Turkey, Europe, USA and Canada. Chloe's encounters with indigenous wisdom teachers, spiritual and classical Indian music masters, led to a transformative 'no-mind' experience in Northern India, inspired by the great luminary and saint Anandamayi Ma (1896–1982). This gave birth to a method of sound and voice, which Chloe eventually named The Naked Voice in 1990. Her autobiography, The Naked Voice – Journey to the Spirit of Sound tells the story of these formative early years and was published by Rider Books in 1993. Chloe Goodchild's daughter, Rebecca Hannah Goodchild Nash, is a classical and jazz pianist, performer, recording artist and jazz tutor at Stowe School, the Bristol Cathedral School and the National Youth Jazz Collective (NYJC) in England.
