Thomas Dolby Biography

This was large because of his adept marketing. Dolby marketed himself as a sort of crazy scientist, an egghead who had harnessed the power of synthesizers and samplers and used them to create light electro-funk and catchy pop. The song "New Toy," which Dolby composed for Lene Lovich and Whodini's Magic's Wand, is among his most well-known compositions as a songwriter. Before beginning a solo career, Dolby worked as a studio musician technician and songwriter. He began a solo career in 1981, and She Blinded Me with Science (1982) and Hyperactive (1983) were two of his biggest hits (1984). After Hyperactive, his career began to wane as he produced more regularly and experimented with cutting-edge computer and synthesizer technologies. Dolby kept on recording far into the 1990s, although by that point he had become purely a cult figure. Dolby's fascination with computers, electronics, and synthesizers led to his development of musical interest. Thomas Morgan Robertson, the son of a British archaeologist, was born on October 14, 1958, and went to college to study meteorology. However, he quickly became interested in electronics, particularly musical instruments. At age 18, he started creating his own synthesizers. He started learning how to play the guitar, piano, and computer programming at about the same time. He finally adopted the moniker "Dolby," which was the name of a noise-reduction method for audiotapes, as his stage name from his schoolmates.
