Album Details
Gary Go hit the headlines when he was confirmed as the official opening act for Take That's record breaking UK tour in June. This will see him perform in front of over a million people, a dream opportunity for a new artist and one that will see Gary play his local venue - Wembley Stadium. Gary Go will release his self-titled, self-produced debut album `Gary Go' on May 25th which includes the soaring `Wonderful' which was hard to miss on the airwaves earlier this year and the brand new single `Open Arms'. Gary isn't your stereotypical pop star: a spiky, Joe 90 bespectacled exterior disguises a voice that can (and soon will) fill stadiums with ease. He was picked out in Q's Tips For 2009, the magazine describing him as a `one man Coldplay' for his talent at writing and delivering pop songs of epic proportions. But way before this, it was Peter Gabriel who gave Gary Go the most unlikely break when he told him "Seems to me that you should concentrate on song writing," dashing the 24-year-old's hopes of joining the Real World studios team in Bath. It consequently turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist who grew up within earshot of the Eighties uber-gigs at Wembley Stadium, Gary wrote his first song `Stomach Ground' (about a village of people living on someone's belly) aged eight, left school at 17 and got a lowest rung job at a record label and recording studio making tea and setting up microphones. The next few years were spent working at various studios, soaking up as much sonic knowledge as he could. He set up his own bedroom-run label The Canvas Room, produced some songs, released 500 copies of the `So-So' EP and started playing shows around the city.
Album Description
After leaving school at 17, Gary worked at a string of record companies and recording studios, like Eurythmic Dave Stewart's Artist Network. Gary even interviewed for a job at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, but was told by Gabriel himself that maybe he "should concentrate on songwriting." Luckily, Gary took his advice. He traveled to America, where he worked at a New Jersey recording studio and rented a room in Frank Sinatra's old house in Hoboken - there he composed many of the songs that appear on Gary Go. Gary now brings bona fide pop hits to the US. Having just completed tours with two of Britain's all time best selling bands Take That and Lady Gaga, Gary is on his way to the US. "Wonderful" the first single is already climbing the pop charts at radio after topping the charts in the UK and Italy!
