Music


Main article: Chantoozies

From 1986 Goldsmith was one of four female lead vocalists of the Australian band the Chantoozies.[6] They released four singles: "Witch Queen", "He's Gonna Step On You Again", "Wanna Be Up", "Kiss and Tell", and an album, Chantoozies.[7] Goldsmith left the Chantoozies to pursue a solo singing career before the band released their second album, Gild the Lily in 1991. She later rejoined when the group temporarily reformed in 2006 for the Countdown Spectacular concert series, and more permanently in 2012.[8] She again left the band in 2020.[9]

With Chantoozies member Eve von Bibra, Goldsmith also performed in the duo the Toozies.[10] The Toozies performed the opening act at the 2010 Antenna Awards.


Other work


In the late 1990s, Goldsmith co-hosted a breakfast program on Melbourne radio station TTFM, replacing Nicky Buckley. She played Janet in a season of the New Rocky Horror Show, and participated in an arena version of the musical Grease.

Goldsmith works as a marriage celebrant and has released two meditation and relaxation albums. After having a bout of chronic fatigue syndrome and struggling for years with sleep issues, Goldsmith used her meditation skills in partnership with sleep specialist Chris Bunney to record a sleep album that has been prescribed by doctors. She collaborated with a child psychologist on her other album which is aimed at children.

She was known as a sex symbol early in her career,[11] and posed nude for art magazine Black+White in August 1996.
