Career in Depeche Mode (1980–present)

Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, and Vince Clarke formed Composition of Sound in March 1980, with Clarke on vocals and guitar, Gore on keyboards, and Fletcher on bass. Clarke and Fletcher soon switched to synthesizers. After Clarke heard Gahan perform David Bowie's "Heroes" that year, the band reformed. After Gahan's discovery of a fashion magazine called Dépêche-mode, the band was renamed Depeche Mode. Depeche Mode, a new wave/synthpop pioneer of the early 1980s, has released 14 studio albums, four greatest hits compilations, and two remix albums. In excess of 100 million units worldwide, the band has sold over a million albums. On Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, four of the band's singles have reached number one: "Enjoy the Silence" (1990), "Policy of Truth" (1993), and "Walking in My Shoes" (1993).

"I became a bit angry that there was a lack of experiments during Exciter's construction," Gahan said in a 2003 interview. This led him to tell his friends in 2004 that he wanted to write half of the songs on their forthcoming album, but there was "no way" he could be involved in the band without being a writer. There was eventually a compromise, and three of Gahan's songs, "Suffer Well" (nominated for a Grammy award), "I Want It All" and "Nothing's Impossible," were among the entries on Playing the Angel. In 2006, "Suffer Well" was first released as a single, peaking at No. 1. In the United Kingdom, there are 12 out of 12. Although Gahan wrote the lyrics to the B-side "Oh Well," the song was also written by Martin Gore. It was their first writing collaboration.

Dave Valiant, the Damned's frontman, influences Gahan's persona on stage. David Bowie, James Brown, Elvis Presley, and Prince have all been credited with influences, according to him.
