- Roy Golden is an American singer, songwriter, narrator, and speaker best known for his music, the "Make+Be+Live Podcast," and the internet reality series "A Bedroom Boy's Best."
Born in Tyler, Texas, USA, on February 10, 1980, Roy began writing songs at 14 years-old and started performing at local music showcases in 1997. Roy moved to Dallas, Texas, in 1999 to pursue an Associate of Applied Science degree in Multimedia and Web Development at the Art Institute of Dallas. After graduating in March 2001, Roy entered the corporate world and over the next 15 years worked in the fields of advertising, PR, manufacturing, and event technology.
Dissatisfied with the long-term outlook of his career as an Account Manager for an Audio/Visual services provider, Golden abandoned his position in July 2015 and embarked on a quest to complete a 23-year journey to produce an album of original music. He took footage from live internet broadcasts and turned it into a web-based reality series called "A Bedroom Boy's Best." Roy then created the "Make+Be+Live Podcast" so he could share each step of his journey with the world.
Along the way, Roy discovered he had an ability to sing exceptionally high whistle notes; he refers to it as his "Dolphin Squeal." In June of 2017 he demonstrated a note as high as Ab in the 8th octave, and, combined with his ability to produce notes below the threshold of human hearing, it is quite possible he has the "Freq-iest Voice in the World" pending verification by Guinness World Records®.
Roy is a member of ASCAP and the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). He resides in Los Angeles, California, and has one daughter, Adrianna, born in 2001. His hope is that he may entertain, inspire, and encourage others to "live the life you dared to dream... like me."- IMDb Mini Biography By: RDGE
