Thomas Dolby
"A Synth pop artist. Who also forged a career as a session musician and producer."
Thomas Dolby (born Thomas Morgan Robertson, on 14 October 1958, in London England) is a British musician, best known for his 1982 synth pop hit "She Blinded Me With Science". He is also a successful session musician, music producer, inventor and entrepreneur, whose company Beatnik, Inc. created the polyphonic ringtone software used in over 100 million mobile telephones.He is associated with synth pop, a pop music form incorporating electronic instruments. His most recognized song is "She Blinded Me With Science" with sound samples from Magnus Pyke although he describes this track as his least favourite. Most of Dolby's work covers a wide range of musical styles and moods distinct from the high-energy pop sound of his few, better known commercial successes.Perhaps his most popular side-gig was as keyboard player on Def Leppard's 1983 Pyromania album. Due to contractual problems (i.e. they didn't share the same record label), Dolby appeared on Pyromania using the stage name Booker T. Boffin.A couple of years later, Dolby performed at the Live Aid concert in London as part of David Bowie's band.In 1990, he appeared in the huge charity concert "The Wall" in Berlin, organized by Roger Waters: he played keyboards in "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)" (sung by Cyndi Lauper), and then played the Teacher's role in the sequence "The Trial".Dolby returned to his musical career in 2006, with a string of small dates in California to an incredibly receptive crowd. His American tour, the Sole Inhabitant Tour, starts on April 12, 2006.He performed his first solo public show in 25 years at the Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco, California on January 21, 2006, surprising the crowd who there to so a local cover band, Notorious.
