Early years
As a young boy in school, Goosen was not considered 'bright'. At the age of 9, his teachers sought to place him in a class for mentally challenged children as his behaviour became disruptive. When he was 17, a guidance counsellor suggested to Goosen that he abandon his music career.
In 1963, Goosen was expelled from boarding school after being caught in a bath playing guitar and smoking. His guitar was confiscated and its case filled with bricks. Despite this, Goosen persevered and formed his high school's first rock band that same year.
Career
Goosen is noted for two films for which he wrote music and directed: 'n Brief vir Simone (1980)and Sing vir die Harlekyn (1980)., Die Laaste Tango (2013) and 'n Pawpaw vir my Darling (2016)
