John Foxx

Real Name:
Dennis Leigh
Profile:
Vocalist, musician, photographer and graphic artist best known as former lead singer for Ultravox (initially written 'Ultravox!'). He left the band in 1979 for a solo career. He withdrew from music in 1985 and concentrated on visual work. In 1990, inspired by acid house, Foxx briefly returned as Nation 12, a collaboration with Tim Simenon of Bomb The Bass (and later with the late Shem McCauley/Streets Ahead). Foxx then fell silent again until 1997, when a chance meeting with Louis Gordon led to a batch of albums by the duo (1997–2008) and a new phase of Foxx's solo career.

Dude, it's John Foxx...I mean you can't really knock the guy. He isn't Gary Numan or David Sylvian (Respectfully), but this guy made Metamatic. Best album of 79/80 for me. Anyway, way ahead of his time and has worked with AMAZING musicians!!!

John Foxx was a pioneer. First UK artist to record a complete album using synths alone. Sited by many pioneering dance acts as inspiration along with the likes of Kraftwerk. Also one of the best teachers I ever had. And still going strong today! Respect.

John Foxx was the original singer/songwriter in the early '80's art rock band Ultravox. He was replaced by Midge Ure,and embarked on a solo career. The earliest recordings are electronic, cold and robotic and dron-y in a catchy way. The later recordings began to incorporate more organic instrumentation.
