Boston-based artist, Gooden, was born Jeremy Jamal Gooden in Dorchester, MA. In his formative years, he would be introduced to soul, hip hop, and R&B greats by his father. Throughout grade school, he would sharpen his vocal and acting performance skills by participating in school/church plays and choirs driven by the encouragement of his mother. In 2006, he was accepted to Boston Arts Academy, Boston's only public high school for the visual and performing arts, where he studied classical, musical theatre, and jazz performance. Upon graduating in 2010, he was accepted to Colby College, a liberal arts college in Waterville, ME, where he studied in The Department of Performance, Theater, and Dance for 2 years. During his college career, he performed and released an EP with the band 4 Year Plan under the moniker of Good Gatsby. Shortly after the death of his father which led to his departure from school, he released a project titled "The Public Policy EP" with fellow Massachusetts emcee, BeWyze. In 2013, still under the moniker of Good Gatsby, Gooden released his first solo mixtape titled "Man of the House" that featured production from Six Foot Pigeons & Ollie Dunne and guest verses from Bay Area emcee, Djallel Z & New York-based vocalist, SHANNY. After nearly a decade of releasing music sporadically, Jeremy  reemerged in 2020 as Gooden, and continues to release unique soul and Hip Hop music.
