ABOUT

Said to be ‘The man who invented the 80’s’, Trevor Horn gained international acclaim following his 1979 hit single Video Killed The Radio Star, written with his band The Buggles. A culture defining event, the track was a worldwide success, reaching number 1 in the singles charts in sixteen different countries, spawning the MTV culture that defined an era. Horn was briefly the lead vocalist in progressive rock band Yes before he decided to focus his attentions on production work.

He has since worked with the likes of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, Pet Shop Boys, Seal and Robbie Williams among many others over a career which has seen him win three Brit Awards, a Grammy and an Ivor Novello award. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2011 for his services to the music industry.
