Goldie, who was born Clifford Joseph Price, in Walsall, is a father to four other children, all to different mothers.
His mother was an Scottish pub singer who suffered from alcoholism and put him into care at the age of three, while she kept his younger brother, Melvin, with her.
His early life was spent moving from children’s home to abusive foster parent back to children’s home.
Goldie has recalled ‘the nights of sad times, crying my eyes out, wanting to get recognition, when I really wanted love and I just wanted nurturing, but all I got was abuse’.
He finally met his brother when he was 17, when he returned to live with his mother – but it was no happy family existence.
She was a heavy drinker, his stepfather was abusive, and they stole to buy food.
Melvin had become a petty criminal who would hold up shops, and has since spent several spells in prison.
Goldie’s salvation was a skating rink called Whispering Wheels. He played roller hockey for the England B team and taught himself to break-dance. as part of the skating scene, he also took up graffiti painting.

Then he was featured in Bombin’, a film about the hip-hop scene, and began his first career – painting murals for television adverts. Around this time, he decided to track down his Jamaican father, who had left home when he was a baby.
In 2010, one his children, Jamie Price, then 23, was found guilty of murder and jailed for life for stabbing to death a rival gang member in Wolverhampton – with his famous father noticeably absent in court.
The crime was brutal. One blow was so hard it scored a groove in victim Marlon Morris’s shoulder blade; another went through his heart.
Goldie says finding out that his son was involved in the murder was one of the hardest things he has ever had to deal with.
‘I feel like I’ve failed,’ he said. ‘And what has played on my mind more than anything else is knowing that someone’s mother had woken up without a son.’

Goldie, who has four other children (they each have different mothers), admitted to being an absent father to Jamie, but said he always hoped to give his son the opportunities he never had.
He said: ‘I was away for the majority of his young life. I wish I could have had more influence, but when a relationship falls apart, you can’t stay. I couldn’t stay on that estate any more.
‘I would be on drugs, I would be robbing people. I thought: “I cannot go any further unless I break out of this mentality”.
‘That life is now so foreign and alien to me that nothing can make me go back.’
