==Career==
=== Music ===
By 1991, Price had become fascinated by the British [[breakbeat]] music scene when his girlfriend, DJ [[Kemistry]], introduced him to the pioneering [[Oldskool jungle|jungle]] and [[drum and bass]] [[record producer|producers]] Dennis "Dego" McFarlane and Mark "Marc Mac" Clair, known as [[4hero]].<ref name=DoAndroidsDance/> He went on to execute some design and [[A&R]] work for 4hero's [[Reinforced Records]] label.

In 1992, Price made his first record appearance by contributing to an EP by Icelandic group Ajax Project that included the track ''Ruffige''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://grapevine.is/culture/music/2011/03/17/remembering-biogen |title=Remembering Biogen/ |first=Ragnar |last=Egilsson |work=The Reykjavík Grapevine |date=17 March 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Ajax Project, Thor, Biogen - Mach III |date=1992 |url=https://www.discogs.com/release/187885-Ajax-Project-Thor-Biogen-Mach-III |access-date=2024-12-02 |language=en}}</ref>

The album's title track was a 21-minute [[symphonic]] piece. "[[Inner City Life]]", a track from the album, reached number 39 in the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums"/> ''Timeless'' helped to popularise drum and bass as a form of [[musical expression]].<ref>{{cite web |first=John| last=Bush |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/goldie-p168851/biography |title=Goldie |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=15 May 2012}}</ref> The music critic [[Simon Reynolds]] noted that Price's credentials as a musical innovator—and particularly as one of the key driving forces of innovation in the jungle/breakbeat scene—were exceptional. "Goldie revolutionised jungle not once but thrice", he noted in ''[[The Wire (magazine)|The Wire]]'' magazine, continuing, "First there was 'Terminator' (pioneering the use of time stretching), then 'Angel' (fusing [[Diane Charlemagne]]'s live vocal with [[David Byrne]]/[[Brian Eno]] samples to prove that hardcore could be more 'conventionally' musical), now there's 'Timeless', a 22-minute hardcore symphony."<ref name="Reynolds">Simon Reynolds, "Above The Treeline", ''The Wire'' #127, September 1994.</ref>

In 1996, he released the ''Toasted Both Sides Please'' remix of the [[Bush (British band)|Bush]] song "[[Swallowed (song)|Swallowed]]", which topped charts in the US and Canada.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vQkEAAAAMBAJ&q=Billboard+Modern+Rock+Tracks+bush+swallowed&pg=PA14 |title=Billboard – Google Books |date=16 November 1996 |access-date=15 May 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jjheath.com/ModR1996.html |title=Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks Top 39 of 1996 |publisher=Jjheath.com |access-date=15 May 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-119.01-e.php?brws_s=1&file_num=nlc008388.9882&type=1&interval=24&PHPSESSID=c1q4gj2dnd4leu6d7gg7rpv304 |title=Rock/Alternative – Volume 64, No. 16, December 02 1996 |author=RPM |authorlink=RPM (magazine) |date=2 December 1996 |access-date=26 April 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022125923/http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/rpm/028020-119.01-e.php?brws_s=1&file_num=nlc008388.9882&type=1&interval=24&PHPSESSID=c1q4gj2dnd4leu6d7gg7rpv304 |archive-date=22 October 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Price released his second album, ''[[Saturnz Return]]'', in 1998. The album's opening track, "Mother", is an hour-long orchestral drum and bass piece. The album featured appearances by [[David Bowie]], [[Noel Gallagher]] and [[KRS-One]]. The album met with mixed reviews. David Brown of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' called the album "ambitious but monotonous and overlong—[[Pink Floyd]] with a gold tooth".<ref>{{cite magazine |first=David |last=Brown |url=https://www.ew.com/article/1998/02/06/saturnz-return/ |title=Saturnz Return |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |publisher=[[Meredith Corporation]] |location=New York City |date=6 February 1998 |access-date=20 April 2018}}</ref>

There was an exhibition of Price's art in [[Berlin]] from 13 to 26 June 2008.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eddielock.co.uk/newsView.php?title=Goldie%20Berlin%20Exhibition%20&newsItem=12 |title=Goldie Berlin Exhibition |publisher=Eddielock.co.uk |date=26 June 2008 |access-date=12 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090805075543/http://www.eddielock.co.uk/newsView.php?title=Goldie%20Berlin%20Exhibition%20&newsItem=12 |archive-date=5 August 2009}}</ref> In April 2009, a retrospective exhibition titled "Kids Are All Riot" took place in [[Shoreditch]], London, coinciding with the release of his screenprint "Apocalypse Angel".

Around 2008, Price's art work was displayed on the [[London Underground]] by the arts company [[Art Below]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.artbelow.org.uk/artists/goldie |title=Goldie |website=artbelow.org.uk |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304233640/http://www.artbelow.org.uk/artists/goldie |archive-date=4 March 2016 |access-date=3 November 2019}}</ref>

In 2021, he modeled for [[Louis Vuitton]] Menswear Spring / Summer collection and contributed a song.

=== Books ===
The innovative nature of Goldie's art (both sonic and visual) was a consistent theme in [[Kodwo Eshun]]'s acclaimed book 'More Brilliant Than The Sun' (published in 1998) which has long been seen as a landmark text on Afro-futurism. Among the works that Eshun referenced were Goldie's 1986 graffiti piece Future World Machine and his 1992 single 'Terminator'. Noting the links between the multi-dimensionality in both painting and sound, Eshun noted: "There's a big interface between graffiti and the break."<ref>Eshun 1998, p. 177.</ref>

In 2002, Goldie's autobiography 'Nine Lives' was published by [[Hodder & Stoughton]]. Written with London-based writer [[Paul Gorman]], the book traced his life story from childhood in care and foster homes through to the first flush of his success as a groundbreaking musical artist.

A second autobiography 'All Things Remembered' was published in November 2017 by Faber & Faber. Written when Goldie was 52, it covers a more comprehensive span than the earlier book but is more philosophic in tone. While incidents from his extraordinary childhood are recounted, it also includes his ruminations on musical heroes such as Pat Metheny and a conversation with "my left-hand man" [[Doc Scott]] as well as memories of his work in TV and film. The book includes pictures of Goldie on set with [[David Bowie]]. Co-written with Ben Thompson, 'All Things Remembered' was chosen by [[Nicola Barker]] as one of The Guardian's Books Of The Year. She described it as "a fabulous, whirling kaleidoscope of music, memory and trauma . . . magical and cautionary."<ref>{{Cite news |date=2017-11-25 |title=Best books of 2017 – part one |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/nov/25/best-books-of-2017-part-one |access-date=2023-12-08 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>
