Today The 14th Of Feb. 2013, it has been confirmed that Goldie is dead.

Here is a Round-Up Of The Life & Times of The Iconic Singer - Goldie

PROFILE OF SUSAN OLUWABIMPE ‘GOLDIE’ HARVEY:
Growing up in a family where music was virtually the only bright spot in a tripartite existence that revolved round home, school and church, it did not come as much surprise that Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey now known as Goldie chose to be a singer, songwriter and performer. If it was to give vent to a childhood social denial, available indices indicate that Goldie is making a resounding success of her career choice. If it was to prove to her hitherto unbending dad that her sometimes rebellious streak as a teen was just a quest for her true essence, she has equally succeeded. And everyboy must indeed be very proud of this young lady because less than five years into her musical odyssey, the crown of Nigeria’s nonpareil pop diva now nestles snugly on her golden mane.

Since her emergence onto the pop culture radar a few years ago, Goldie has cut large swaths though the fields of musical accomplishments;
exemplifying a special conception of musical heroine who can say or show anything while providing a view of the bold, confrontational and liberated woman.
Colourful and cerebral, Goldie’s musical strength and depth, sensuality and
serenity have appropriated her as the high water mark that other female singers have to live up to.
Add to that mix the fact that the multiple awards-
winning singer has created a smouldering, public persona that borders on the eccentric and eclectic, otherwise creative and precise, but
engaging enough to keep you talking about her. Despite the mixed reactions to her musical style and outré outlook, Goldie has fitted perfectly into the role of Nigeria’s most consistent female performer of the moment.

EARLY LIFE:
Indeed, in the case of talent and passion, the apple does not fall too far away from the tree. Goldie was born In the early 80s to very educated and successful parents – her mum, late
Mrs. Olabisi Betty from the illustrious Olaiya family
in Ijebu, Ogun State was a former managing director in a bank, while her dad, a native of Ikole-Ekiti, Ekiti State, also retired as a director in
a new generation bank. He is now into full time clerical works in Lagos. The first of four kids, Goldie’s education began at the Green Springs
Montessori Primary School and then St. John's College, Palm Grove, Lagos where Christian Religious Knowledge, she said, was her favourite
subject because she didn’t have to study too hard to pass it. In fact, by the age of 10, she already knew so many bible verses that belied
her age. She recalled, “My childhood was very interesting
but regimented. My Dad was a leader in church and very active too while my mum used to lead the choir. So, as their first child, I took very active
roles in all church activities – drama, choir, bible classes and so on. Church was the only social life we had. On Mondays, we went for bible classes;

Wednesdays were for prayer meetings and then one Friday in a month, we went for vigil. I never had toys or friends because my father thought
they would lead me astray." Thus, her mum was her closest friend. However, the bond that held mother and daughter together snapped irretrievably in 1994.

LOSING HER MUM:
Goldie described her mum as a woman of high
intellectual and moral values. “She was the first to have a scholarship in her family. She was an avid reader and had a lot of certificates and degrees.”
Every night, when every other person had gone to bed, Goldie and her mum would stay up chit- chatting and watching television. She was the
only friend Goldie had. But she died too soon after a long-drawn battle with cancer, leaving behind four kids. “It was a traumatic experience
for me especially because it was like losing my only friend and confidant. I cried bitterly and even up till now, over a decade later, the pain of her demise has not left me.” Goldie is however consoled that she now has another mum in her step-mother who she describes as God-sent.

FORAY INTO MUSIC
A prodigious kid with a strong flair for the arts
and everything creative, Goldie recalled drawing sketches of anything that caught her fancy but whenever her dad saw her drawing, he would
tear it, asking rather erroneously how many people have achieved outstanding success in arts. This however did not deter the blithely ambitious young lady from wanting to give vent to her dreams because like the cliché goes, music expresses that which cannot be put into words
and cannot remain silent.

Goldie had found music through the prism of divas like Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton. And even at that age, she was already learning the style and nuances of pop, even emulating Braxton’s style
of keeping her side burns oiled. At that time too, it had become pretty obvious that Goldie was an embryonic diva. “I’d been flirting with music all my life. I don’t remember exactly how old but I was incredibly young
when I knew that I’d go into some form of entertainment. Everybody who knew me back then knew that I could sing because I was always singing in school or church; I’ve always had that artistic flair.” So, when she got to the UK where she had been admitted to study Business Management at the University of Sunderland, she and a couple of friends formed an informal group which performed for friends and family. The
group even did a couple of demos which never really made it out.

GOING PROFESSIONAL
Interestingly, Goldie’s return to Nigeria in the
mid-2000s did not quite signal an immediate take-off for her career. Rather, she concentrated on building her date-reminder services business.
In the course of this, she needed to do a jingle and was introduced to Mani of Cool FM who bowled her over with his production aplomb.
They talked about music and what they’d like to achieve. The young lady evinced unadulterated passion and determination which prompted Mani
to introduce her to industry players. Then, she
met renowned producer, OJB Jezreel who would produce her first single, Komole. This was followed by three other singles Spin Me, Nothing
has Changed, and Shift, which all formed part of her compilation CD. Since then, there has been no stopping her. Through the turbulence, drudgery
and seeming imperviousness of the music industry, Goldie held her own, talent for talent, and creativity for creativity. After a tentative
management deal in 2009, Goldie was signed on to Nigeria’s foremost music label, Kennis Music in 2010. A few months later, she released her debut album, Gold, which given Nigerians’ apathy towards pop music, has been a critical success.

The album exudes the audacity and flamboyance of Goldie, and has spewed a couple of provocative, smart, and infectious videos; You Know It, JawoJawo and DTMB (Don’t Touch My Body) The 3 songs are now certified street anthems with increasing followership. “For me,
the clothing, the props, and the creative direction must be properly coordinated because I want my fans to have very specific imagery in their head when they're listening to the music and watching the accompanying video.” Continuing, she says, “Entertainment as a whole has gone
visual. The best way to sell yourself and your music is to make a video… I will say for the record though, that I love shooting music videos, that’s one of the highlights of being in my profession; I like bringing my fantasies to life.
A good music video is just one of the many ways to do this.” Little wonder, the video for ‘You Know it’ won the best female video at the 2010
SoundCity Music Video Awards and also picked the award for best use of costume at the Nigerian

Awards and Accolades
Music Video Awards; while DTMB picked up best
Afro Pop video at the 2011 Nmva’s. TRIVIA A movie buff and avid reader, when Goldie is not in the comfort of her home, she is making good
music at the Kennis Music Studio. Though a nocturnal person, you can hardly find Goldie at Night clubs because she believes in channelling
such hours into creative engagements. ACCOLADES Goldie is an ambassador of Project Alert, a world renowned not for profit organisation aimed at advocating Zero tolerance to all forms of violence
against women and young girls. This rare honour was bestowed upon her after the president of the organisation saw all the charity works she had been doing on her own. Goldie has so far in the past year nabbed a total
of ten (10 awards) including Exquisite Lady of the year (ELOY) Best Female Artiste award and City People Best Female Artiste of the year... She has also been inducted as a Federal Celebrity
Special Marshal alongside other notable Nigerian Celebrities. The Law Students Society of the Obafemi Awolowo University (O.A.U) recently
issued her an Award for Musical Excellence under the category of Best Female Artiste of the Year.
She has also been conferred a United Nations Youth Ambassador for Peace by the Federal Government. Having won all the major awards on the African continent, headlined major events within and
outside the continent, hosted sold-out tours, Goldie is not just a name but a brand that have since carved a niche for herself as a leading
African Female pop Diva.

BBA
Goldie became the final celebrity to exit the BBA7 star game house in 2012 as the 3rd runner up.

Other Achievements
The video for SAY MY NAME received BEST POP COSTUME at the Nigerian Music Video Awards (NMVA) in December 2012. She was also honoured with a SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD at Top Naija music awards same month. Queen G is currently working on a Continental-wide musical project titled THE AFRICA INVASION ALBUM.

The first 3 hits off the Naughty Singles compilation; SKIBOBO featuring AY (Tanzania), MILIKI featuring NAVIO (Uganda), and GIVE IT TO
ME featuring J MARTINS (Nigeria), have all recorded massive downloads worldwide.

JIMOSKI can authoritatively confirm that pop singer Susan ‘Goldie‘ Harvey is dead.

Multiple sources told us the Kennis Music singer slumped hours ago, shortly after arriving from Los Angeles, US where she attended the 55th Grammy Awards ceremony. Cause of death remains uncertain, but two of our reporters have seen her corpse, and witnessed as friends and colleagues deposited her remains at the mortuary in Ikeja, Lagos.

Goldie was pronounced dead a few minutes after 10:00 PM, shortly after she was rushed to Reddington Hospital, located at 12, Idowu Martins streets, Victoria Island (beside Mega Plaza) in a red cab.

Our reporters who arrived at the hospital at exactly 11:47 PM were not granted access into the hospital premises. Cool FM OAPs Freeze and Dotun who had arrived earlier were also not granted access into the premises.

Those identified inside the hospital building include Kennis Music label boss Kenny ‘Keke’ Ogungbe, his younger brother ID Ogungbe, Goldie’s close friend Denrele Edun, former Big Brother winners Uti Nwachukwu, Karen Igho and STV presenter Yvonne ‘Vixen’ Ekwere.

At 12:47 AM, the singer’s corpse was loaded into a black Mercedes Benz 4matic SUV with license plate HV266-EkY (pictured above). The Benz along with four other cars headed to the General Hospital, Ikeja morgue.

The body arrived at the General Hospital exactly 01:20 AM and was left in the SUV for 40 minutes while preparations were made. At 02:07, the corpse was dislodged at the Lekan Ogunsola Memorial House of the Ikeja General Hospital.

Denrele (who was dressed in a red singlet and jeans), Karen, Vixen along with Kenny and ID Ogungbe were actively involved in making sure the body was deposited at the morgue.

No photographs were allowed.

The atmosphere was very tense, once in a while Keke would throw in a mild joke to ease the tension. ’It is well, thank you for coming’, Denrele said.

Kenny Ogungbe declined to make any official comments. No official statements have been made but a message was passed from Goldie’s official Twitter handle;

It is with heavy heart that i have to inform you all that goldie passed this night shortly after arriving Lagos‘. The same message also reflected on her Facebook fan page.

Goldie, 29, until her shocking demise was signed to Kennis Music label. She is known for her hit song ‘You know it (Gboko lowo e) ft eLDee; but it was her participation in the Big Brother All Star that turned her into a continental hit, and a household name in Nigeria and beyond.
