BMI Writer Abby White Says of William Goldstein:
"Imagine discovering, as a young child, that you have the ability to sit down at the piano and instantly play anything you hear.
This skill is so natural to you — that you don’t ever recall not being able to do it—that it feels entirely normal.
You don’t realize it’s unique until adults start marveling at the extraordinary talent they’re witnessing, and urge your parents to have you evaluated at Columbia University at the age of nine.
This is one of the many remarkable circumstances in composer William Goldstein’s life."
The former child prodigy eventually learned to read music, writing his first orchestral work at age 18 and formally studying music composition in college.
He credits multiple life-changing experiences — Serving as a composer in residence for the U.S. Army Band during the Vietnam War, signing with hit factory Columbia Picture Screen Gems, and, later, with Berry Gordy on Motown Records - As miracles.
William Goldstein is an artist with unique bragging rights - He has both Motown and CBS Masterworks.
He has over 60 albums currently available, average a whopping six
million monthly streams.
His album "The Bach Effect," which reached over 400,000 downloads in just four months, is among the top picks alongside such superstars as Lang Lang and Vladimir Horowitz on the Amazon solo classical piano playlist, curated by music experts.
He has scored over 50 Movie and Television projects, including Fame & The Miracle Worker.
He has written on the Arts for The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.
He has been a pioneer in both the use of computers and electronic instruments in music. In fact, you can most likely thank him for being able to compose on your laptop.
His latest recording is "Collaborative Composition: Created in the Moment.”
Each of the eleven tracks showcases spontaneous dialogue with a second musician, the two trading ideas to produce structurally and emotionally compelling works of art.
