Tad Goddard

Tad Goddard caught the music bug as a young boy, after hearing the bass lines in the Beatles' "Penny Lane" and the Stones' "Satisfaction". He began playing bass and singing in rock bands in the Vancouver area, where his songwriting talents also flourished. He wrote and performed the hit "Flowers in the Concrete" on Annette Ducharme's album "Bloom" has written ten film scores amidst his songwriting career.

Live performing remains Tad's calling; touring with Nick Gilder's Sweeney Todd saw him meet up with drummer Gary Grace, forming a formidable rhythm section they later brought to Prism. When Al Harlow jammed with Tad in a club gig in 2004, they enthused about a position with Prism. Tad joined the band in 2005; his strong vocals and locked-in bass playing are a key part of the band today.

As he continues composing for new movie and gaming soundtracks, he reflects, "as a kid I was faced with working on the railroad with CN, or rock'n roll. My choice was obvious." Gratefully, it's also obvious to Prism's audience, too.
