But anybody that's listening to the albums or came to see me live realized that there was a much more personal and sort of intimate atmospheric side to my music. I think that the more extroverted side of my songwriting was what made the biggest splash on the commercial mainstream in the '80s. And as for his big hit? For many listeners, that was the way in to the world of Thomas Dolby, which is filled with deep, engaging songs for those who have acquired the taste.ĭan MacIntosh (Songfacts): You recently said, "What I do best is write songs, tell stories." I think most people think of you as being into technology, but you see yourself as a songwriter first. We were surprised to learn that Dolby sees his strengths as songwriting and storytelling, and that technology is just a way to get there. Production/Songwriting with Eddie Van Halen, Joni Mitchell and David Bowie Keyboards and production work on Def Leppard's Pyromania album Kick-starting the early rap group Whodini with the song "Magic's Wand" Playing the synth intro to Foreigner's "Waiting For A Girl Like You" (thanks to Lange) ![]() He's one of those genius-types that talent-spotters like Mutt Lange hone in on, and he's always popping up in unusual collaborations. His debut album contained "She Blinded Me With Science," which as Dolby explains, he wrote so he could direct a video about a home for deranged scientists. His friends did him a favor - Dolby is one of those cool names like "Taurus" or "Magnum" that you would name a truck or a golf ball after, and it made a perfect stage name befitting his technological prowess. This way i know that the transaction has been successful for us both.The son of a prominent British archeologist, Thomas Robertson was nicknamed "Dolby" by his school friends who were impressed by his electronic savvy, the name coming from Dolby Labs, the British company that created the noise-reduction system for audiotapes.
