In the 1960s, Harvey Goldsmith started his career as a promoter. By the end of that decade, he had produced several well-known events, such as the 14-hour Technicolor Dream and the Crystal Palace Garden Parties. Over the next 10 years, London emerged as the premier pop concert destination and Wembley Stadium became a significant draw for the world's best performers.
His initiatives developed together with his career. He helped organize Concerts for Kampuchea, the first significant international TV event. The event brought in over $2 million in sales worldwide. The 'Global Juke Box' Live Aid, which raised £140 million and featured 17 hours of live television transmission in 60 countries, was perhaps one of the biggest events of his career.
Years later, ten Live 8 concerts were aired live throughout the world on the same day, repeating the feat. With so many musicians and artists participating, it validated Goldsmith's theory that popular music might be an incredibly effective fundraising tool.
Throughout his career, he has played a significant role in planning and publicizing concerts in support of human rights. As a result of his company's success, they were invited to serve as executive producers for the Berlin production of "The Wall".
In order to raise awareness of AIDS, he organized the Freddie Mercury Tribute and was elected chairman of the inaugural National Music Day, which saw 1500 musical performances across the United Kingdom.
Harvey is regarded as an expert in music, communications, charity, human rights, poverty and Africa on a global scale. He discusses media, music, inspiration and leadership. He also covers a variety of business-related subjects and is an entrepreneur..
