Glen Goldsmith was born on August 17, 1965 in Reading, Berkshire and is a UK-based singer. His hit songs have included "Dreaming", "I Won't Cry", "Save A Little Bit" and "What You See Is What You Get" which appeared on the album of the same name. Goldsmith appeared in the line up of Band Aid II in 1989.

Glen Goldsmith’s biggest song writing hit so far is "Mysterious Girl" which was sung by Peter Andre. This was a massive hit for Andre and spent more than 17 weeks in the BBC Top 40 chart. It remained in the Top 5 for fifteen weeks during the summer of 1996. The hit was re-released in 2004, after Andre appeared on ITV1’s programme called "I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here", reaching the # 1 position once more and revitalising Goldsmith's musical career.

"I Feel You" gave Goldsmith his first Number 1 hit record as a songwriter. This classic soul recording showed Peter Andre off in a different light to "Mysterious Girl". Goldsmith also created a big club hit with "Heaven" which reached number 49 in the chart in May, 1998 featuring Irish Tipperary-born female singer Bianca Kinane AKA Kinane.

The biggest hit for Goldsmith as an independent artist for BMG RCA was "Dreaming" where he appeared on several TV shows including the BBC's now defunct Top of the Pops. "I wont cry" was the biggest dance hit single of 1987 , with its clearly recognised saxophone rift played by Mike Stevens running through most of Glen's hits.

Goldsmith also has many club cuts under his belt e.g. "Understanding", Learn to live" and Go with the flow" . These all went straight to the top of the dance and R&B charts and radio stations nationally . "Go with the flow" ensured artists SWV and also Jodeci were off the number 1 slot for a 12-week duration.
