He got his start in the music industry, by fronting the Elektra Records signed rock-act, Coward.
One of the first break thru songs Shep and Kenny produced was the pop radio production of the Lee Ann Womack hit "I Hope You Dance".
They then went on to write/produce for many pop and rock artists including Mandy Moore, Aaron Carter, LFO, Jonas Brothers, Bayside, Ingrid Michaelson, and produced the number one AC single "Do It for Love" for pop icons Daryl Hall & John Oates, as well as many others.
The first artist signed to Dirty Canvas was Brooklyn based alternative rock band American Authors, whose song "Best Day of My Life" (co-written and produced by Goodman) went on to be one of the biggest feel good global hits of the decade, achieving multi-platinum status in multiple countries.
