Bryan Ferry is a singer, songwriter and the author of Roxy Music, with whom he wrote and recorded eight acclaimed albums. The group created a sound and image that pioneered new territories for pop and rock music. By setting trends rather than following them, Roxy Music became all that their creator had predicted and more.
Bryan Ferry’s solo records have always been major events, for critics and fans alike. Ferry’s musical identity and creative signature is both super-modern and indisputably classic. Regarded as the living embodiment of the glamorous, romantic, restlessly enquiring songs that he wrote, he is widely celebrated as one of the most innovative and influential recording artists of all time.
In 2022, Ferry was awarded a CBE and in 2012 received the French national honour of l’Orde des Artes et des Lettres. In 2014 he was made an Honorary Doctor of Music by Newcastle University. He and Roxy Music were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
