Angela “Angie Goodaz” Ford, a proud Canadian, is a force to be reckoned with in the world of music and media. Born into a family where music wasn’t just a pastime—it was a way of life—Angie’s journey began in the basement with her father, flipping through vinyl records and soaking in the sounds. It continued at parties with uncles and cousins running their own sound systems, embedding rhythm and culture deep into her DNA.
Her official step into entertainment came in January 2021 as the radiant cohost of ‘The Mix Up Show’. More than just a pretty face and charismatic voice, Angie quickly proved she had ideas and vision. She introduced signature segments like the ‘Mix Up Health Minute’, producing educational mini videos focusing on community health. But her true impact came through her interviews with Black entrepreneurs—giving them a spotlight to share their stories and missions.
This grassroots approach to storytelling catapulted ‘The Mix Up Show’ to the forefront of the community scene, eventually making it the number one media partner for the prestigious TD JerkFest. A standout interview with founder Anthony Plummer earned the team an invitation to go backstage and host podcast-style interviews with the festival’s headliners. For two unforgettable years, Angie sat down with legends such as Marcia Griffiths, Luciano, Baby Cham, Ding Dong, Farmer Nappy, and many more, leaving her mark on the reggae and soca world.
Her passion didn’t stop there. Angie Goodaz stepped into the role of Canadian Manager for rising Reggae/Soca artist Miss Diva. This role has taken her across cities, giving her a front-row seat to the inner workings of the music industry and allowing her to support an artist she believes in deeply.
After four impactful years, Angie made the difficult decision to leave ‘The Mix Up Show’, unsure of what was next. But the calls didn’t stop. Artists and community members urged her to continue being a voice—especially for the up-and-coming generation. That spark lit the flame for her next venture: ‘The Big and Serious Podcast’. Airing live every Thursday from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the show is a blend of interviews, real talk, and cultural commentary—giving her listeners something to think about, laugh about, and act on.
In addition to her podcast, Angie contributes to the ‘Roots Rock Radio show’ on Montreal’s CKUT 90.3 FM. Every other Monday morning during the 2:00 AM slot, she hosts ‘Information for the Nation’, bringing timely insights to a loyal late-night audience.
Despite her full plate—managing Miss Diva, podcasting, radio hosting, being a full-time working mother, and content creator—Angie Goodaz remains grounded and driven. “Does it keep me out of trouble?” she jokes. “I’m still trying to figure that out!”
