Shep Goodman is an American New York–based multi-platinum record producer, songwriter, and musician. He got his start in the music industry by fronting the Elektra Records signed rock-act, Coward. After the disbandment of the band, he started the music production company Sheppard Music Inc and began writing and producing for various artists. One of the first break-through songs Shep produced was the pop radio production of the Lee Ann Womack hit "I Hope You Dance". He then went on to write/produce for many pop and rock artists including Rob Thomas, Mandy Moore, LFO, Hall & Oates, Ingrid Michaelson, and many others.

Goodman held the position of Vice President of A&R at Universal Motown Records from 2007 until 2011. He is currently co-owner of Dirty Canvas Music, LLC which is a full scale music production company focused on artist development. One of the artists 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 global hits of the decade, currently 6x’s Platinum in the US, and achieved multi-platinum status in multiple countries. Shep has continued to write/produce and consult for various artists/labels. Additionally, he co-founded the music royalty tech start up RSDL.io which has recently been acquired by ADA-Warner Music Group.
