Early life

Peter Brian Gabriel was born in Chobham, Surrey, England, on February 13, 1950. He was raised in a middle-class family in Coxhill, a Victorian manor located on Deep Pool Farm just outside Chobham. Ralph Parton Gabriel (1912–2012), an electrical engineer, and his mother, Edith Irene Gabriel (née Allen), was from a musical family. Sir Thomas Gabriel, 1st Baronet, was Lord Mayor of London from 1866 to 1877, and his great-great-uncle, Sir Thomas Gabriel, was his uncle. Gabriel attended Cable House, Surrey's private primary school, and St Andrews Preparatory School for Boys in Horsell, Surrey. During his time at the university, his teachers noticed his singing abilities, but he opted for piano lessons from his mother and developed an interest in drumming. He bought a floor tom-tom at age 10.

Gabriel remarked on his early influences, "Hymns played a major role in him." They were the closest I came to soul music before I discovered soul music. There are certain hymns that you can scream your lungs out on, and I used to love that. It was great when you used to get the old shivers down the back of the chest." Gabriel wrote his first song, "Sammy the Slug," at the age of 12. An aunt paid him for private singing lessons, but he used it to buy Beatles' first album Please Please Me. He began attending Charterhouse, a public school in Godalming, Surrey, in September 1963. He appeared as a drummer and singer for his first band, the Milords, who were also known as M'Lords. The Spoken Word, a holiday band, was followed by the Spoken Word.

Gabriel founded Garden Wall in 1965 with school classmates Tony Banks on piano and Chris Stewart on drums. Banks had begun playing at Charterhouse at the same time as Gabriel; the two were uninterested in school, but they became attached to music and began writing songs. Gabriel, who was dressed in a kaftan and beads, thrilled the audience with petals he had picked from neighboring gardens at their final concert before they split.

Personal life

Gabriel has married twice and has four children. He married Jill Moore, the niece of Philip Moore's Baron Moore of Wolvercote, in 1971 at the age of 21. Anna-Marie (born 1974) and Melanie (born 1976). Growing Up on Tour: A Family Portrait and The Unwrapped is a filmmaker who produced and directed Gabriel's live DVDs. Melanie has been a backing vocalist in her father's band since 2002. Both daughters appear in the final sequence of the film for their father's song Sledgehammer. Moore's marriage became more difficult, culminating in Moore's affair with David Lord, the co-producer of Gabriel's fourth album. Gabriel went through a period of sadness and attended therapy sessions for six years after a divorce in 1987. Gabriel lived with American actress Rosanna Arquette for a time after his divorce. Sinéad O'Connor, an Irish singer, maintained an on-and-off relationship with Gabriel after his divorce, but that it was decided out of dissatisfaction with a lack of commitment.

In 2002, Gabriel married Meabh Flynn. They have two sons who were born in 2001 and 2008.

For many years, he has lived in Wiltshire and runs Real World Studios from Box, Wiltshire. He formerly lived in the Woolley Valley near Bath, Somerset. In 2010, he began campaign to stop agricultural development in the valley, which had also inspired his first solo album, "Solsbury Hill," in 1977.

Career

Gabriel, Banks, and Stewart were welcomed by fellow students Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford to work on a demo tape of songs in 1967. "She is Beautiful" was Gabriel and Banks' first song together. Jonathan King, a former Charterhouse student and performer, was immediately captivated by Gabriel's voice. He joined the group and suggested the use of Gabriel's Angels' band name, but it was unpopular among the other members. They arrived at Genesis, the King's other option. Gabriel and Banks wrote "The Silent Sun" as a pastiche of the Bee Gees, one of King's favorite bands, after the King requested that they stick to more straightforward pop. It was Genesis' first single, which was released in 1968. It was included on Gabriel's first studio album, From Genesis to Revelation (1968), which featured him on the flute.

The band split up, and Gabriel continued his studies at Charterhouse after the commercial failure of From Genesis to Revelation. Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, and Phillips, among others, decided to abandon their plans and make Genesis a full-time work band in September 1969. Gabriel performed the flute on Mona Bone Jakon (1970) by Cat Stevens in early 1970. Gabriel's second Genesis album, Trespass (1970), saw him expanding his musical output with the accordion, tambourine, and bass drum, as well as his soul music influences. He wrote the lyrics to "The Knife" as a parody of a protest song. Gabriel obtained a spot at London School of Film Technique because Genesis "died" in the album, but at one point. After Gabriel saw his advertisement in the Melody Maker, Genesis recruited guitarist Steve Hackett. Gabriel appears on Nursery Cryme (1971), the band's new album. "The Musical Box," Gabriel's first song in which they included a tale and characters into the lyrics, was their opener.

Foxtrot (1972) (1972) was a major development in Gabriel's stage performance. Although the band tuned their instruments, or when technical defects were being addressed, he began to recite tales to introduce figures as a way to mask the silence between songs. He disappeared from the set during the instrumental section of "The Musical Box" in Dublin in September 1972 and reappeared in his wife's red dress and a fox's head, mimicking the album's cover. He held the theory to himself because he feared that the band would have voted against it. Despite some initial skepticism from his bandmates, Melody Maker's case received front-page coverage, allowing the organization to double their performance fee. One of Gabriel's tales was published in the liner notes of their live album, Genesis Live (1973). Gabriel wore fluorescent make-up, a cape, and bat wings for "Watcher of the Skies," a helmet, chest plate, and a shield for "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight," a typical Genesis display, as well as an old man mask for "The Musical Box" in late 1973, which concentrated on English themes and literary references.

Gabriel's last album with Genesis, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974) was Gabriel's last album with Genesis. Rael, a Puerto Rican youth living in New York City, was enthralled in his tale of the extraordinary people and characters he encountered on his way. Tensions soared during this time as Gabriel needed to write all of the lyrics by himself, and the band broke apart after director William Friedkin had invited him to work on a screenplay. Gabriel rejoined Genesis after the project was finished, and he rejoined it. With the difficult birth of Gabriel's first child's first child, the situation became even more complicated, resulting in missing stretches of time away from the band. In the end, Gabriel was late to perform the lyrics and depended on Banks and Rutherford to provide the lyrics. Gabriel is credited with "experiments with foreign sounds" in the liner notes. Brian Eno was tasked with additional electronic effects.

Gabriel informed the band that he would leave early in the album's tour while on a stop in Cleveland, Ohio, right before the band's tour. Gabriel's theatrics were often in focus of their reviews, while the band's musical appearance was often dismissed, which angered the remainder of the band. The tour ended in May 1975, following Gabriel's article "Out, Angels Down" about his departure, his disillusion with the company, and his desire to spend time with his family. The coverage shocked followers of the band, as well as left commentators wondering if the band would survive without him. After 400 singers were fruitlessly auditioned, drummer Phil Collins reluctantly took over lead vocals.

During which Gabriel took piano and music lessons, he referred to his "learning period." By the end of 1975, he had recorded demos, the fruits of a period of writing about 20 songs with his buddy Martin Hall. Peter Gabriel made his solo debut in 1976 and 1977 in Toronto and London with producer Bob Ezrin, after preparing for an album.

Gabriel did not name his first four albums. All were branded Peter Gabriel, using the same typeface as Hipgnosis' designs. In 1978, he wrote, "The idea is to do it like a magazine, but it will only be published once a year." "So it's the same name, the same letter being sent in the same city; only the picture is different." However, each album has been given a name by fans, most often referring to the album's front cover.

Peter Gabriel (a.k.a. Peter Gabriel 1: Car) was born in February 1977 and reached No. 1 in the United States. 7 students in the United Kingdom and No. 5 in the United States and No. In the United States, 38 people have died. "Solsbury Hill," the band's lead single, is an autobiographical song about a spiritual journey on the summit of Solsbury Hill in Somerset. "It's about being able to lose what you have for the possibility of getting what you might get," Gabriel said. "It's about letting go." Gabriel performed on tour from March to November 1977, with a band that featured guitarist Robert Fripp often appearing off stage and introduced as "Dusty Rhodes."

Gabriel first recorded the second Peter Gabriel album in late 1977 (a.k.a. Peter Gabriel 2: Scratch) in the Netherlands, with Fripp as the product. Gabriel and his first wife Jill wrote "Mother of Violence." The album debuted in June 1978 and has since been pushed to No. 10. In the United Kingdom and No. 10, ten people were killed, and No. 10 in the United Kingdom and No. In the United States, there are 45 people in the United States. Gabriel's tour for the album ran from August to December 1978. Gabriel and his band shaved their heads on this tour.

Gabriel released his third Peter Gabriel album (a.k.a. Peter Gabriel (Melst) in 1979 in England. He had an interest in African music and drum machines and later hailed the record as his breakthrough. The album has been credited as the first to use gated reverb on the drums, giving the album a distinct sound. Gabriel had Collins perform various rhythms on "Intruder," one of the song's features, but he didn't use cymbals for several minutes, which prompted him to develop the song further. Collins' debut solo single "In the Air Tonight" became a signature sound in the 1980s and beyond, due to the gated effect.

Gabriel's US distributor, who had released his first two albums, refused to publish it on Atlantic Records, but it was rejected. "An American A&R man came over in the middle of recording and, rather than attempting to make one track sound like the Doobie Brothers, which he failed to do – it was clear that the item was much too [adopts American accent] "esoteric, Peter." And, as it was sent over there, it was certainly given the big elbow."

Gabriel has been signed to Mercury Records. The album debuted in May 1980 and has since been to No. 81. For three weeks, the UK has been No. 1 in the United Kingdom. It hit No. 126 in the United States. 22. The singles "Games Without Frontiers" dropped to No. 1 on the charts. No. 4 and "Biko" were ranked no. - no. 36 people are in the United Kingdom. Gabriel appeared at a handful of shows in 1979, spanning from February to October 1980. Gabriel's first experience of crowd surfing came as he crept back into the audience in a crucifix position. The stunt became a staple of his live shows.

'Peter Gabriel four (a.k.a.) Gabriel's 4: Security) Gabriel assumed greater responsibility for the production than ever before. He recorded it in 1981 and 1982, mainly on digital tape, with a mobile studio parked at his house, Ashcombe House in Somerset. Gabriel performs a Fairlight CMI computer and embedded electronic instrumentation with sampling world beat percussion. "I've fallen back to a rhythm consciousness over the course of the last two albums," he said. The writing, especially with the introduction of these drum machines, is fantastic. You can save in your memories that both enthrain and entice you. And then the groove will continue without you, and the groove will be exactly what you want it to be rather than what a drummer thinks is appropriate for what you're doing."

Peter Gabriel, the fourth Peter Gabriel, was born in September 1982 and debuted at No. 4 on the charts. In the United Kingdom and No. 6, there are 6 people and No. In the United States, there are 28 people. Gabriel's first top 40 hit in the United States, "Shock the Monkey," was Gabriel's first top 40 hit in the United States. 29 years old. Gabriel signed with Geffen Records, which Gabriel had not guessed that the album Security was different from the first three. Gabriel's 1982 tour was his first to make a living. On Gabriel's first live release, Plays Live (1983), recordings from the tour were posted.

With German lyrics, Gabriel created German-language versions of Peter Gabriel's third and fourth Peter Gabriel albums. The third consisted of the studio recordings but was overdubbed with fresh vocals. Many tracks were extended or altered in the fourth, with some songs extended or altered.

Gabriel co-produced with Daniel Lanois in 1983, 1983. This collection included new music, without lyrics, as well as remastered instrumentals from his previous studio album.

Gabriel shifted his musical focus from rhythm and texture, as seen on Peter Gabriel four and Birdy, to more straightforward songs. He released So, his fifth studio album (also co-produced with Lanois). So was born in May 1986 and reached No. 1 in the United States. No. 1 in the United Kingdom and No. No. 1 in the United Kingdom and No. 1 in the United Kingdom. In the United States, there are two of them. With over 5 million copies sold in the United States alone, Gabriel's best selling album remains Gabriel's best-selling album. It produced three top 20 hits: "Sledgehammer," "Big Time," and "Don't Give Up," a duet with Kate Bush. The first went to No. 1 in the United States. Gabriel's only single of his career to do so appears on the US Billboard Hot 100. Genesis, his former band's, "Invisible Touch" was pushed off from the top spot, but it was also their first top-ranked hit. The single in the United Kingdom reached No. 13 on the charts. 4. Rolling Stone ranked So No. 6 in 1990, the highest ranking in the So. Hundreds. "Top 100 Albums of the Eighties" is 14th on the company's list.

"Sledgehammer" was particularly popular, dealing with sex and sexual relations by lyrical innuendos. Its renowned music video was created as a result of producer Stephen R. Johnson's work with Aardman Animations and the Brothers Quay, who received a record nine MTV Video Music Awards in 1987. It was named MTV's top animated video of all time in 1998.

From November 1986 to October 1987, Gabriel toured around the world to assist So with the This Way Up Tour.

Gabriel appeared in 1988 as the composer for Martin Scorsese's film The Last Temptation of Christ (1988). Scorsese had contacted Gabriel since 1983 and wished to share "the struggle between the humanity and divinity of Christ in a new and innovative way," according to Gabriel. Gabriel used musicians from WOMAD to create instrumental pieces with a focus on rhythm, African Middle Eastern, and European textures, with the National Sound Archive in London as a source of inspiration. Before it was cut to three, Gabriel's original intention was to finish all of the tracks he had intended to finish. Gabriel spent an additional four months on the soundtrack to explore more of his unfinished ideas when the film was complete. In June 1989, Passion first emerged as a passion. It received a Grammy Award for Best New Age Performance and a Gold Globe nomination for Best Original Score – Motion Picture. Gabriel released his first compilation album, Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats, in 1990, which sold 2 million copies in the United States.

Gabriel was the subject of a long-running drought in 1989. Gabriel's successor, Us, appeared from 1989 to 1992. Gabriel sang of his failed first marriage, psychotherapy, and the increasing distance between him and his eldest daughter at the time.

In the first single release "Digging in the Dirt" directed by John Downer, Gabriel's reflection within the context of the album Us can be seen. This song, which had been accompanied by a disturbing video involving Gabriel covered in snails and other foliage, made reference to the psychotherapy, which had taken up a large portion of Gabriel's hours since the previous album. In "Come Talk To Me," directed by Matt Mahurin, Gabriel talks about his attempts to reach his daughter. Sinéad O'Connor's backing vocals were included. O'Connor lent vocals to "Blood of Eden," Nichola Bruce and Michael Coulson's third single to be released from the album and then dealing with intimate issues, this time going back to Adam's ribs for inspiration. The result was one of Gabriel's most personal albums. It met with less success than So, with the No. 10 being the most popular. On both directions of the Atlantic, there are two on the album chart, with the singles "Digging in the Dirt" and the more funkier "Steam," which brought memories of "Sledgehammer" and a modest chart impact. Gabriel followed the album's unveiling with the Secret World Tour, first using touring keyboardist Joy Askew to perform O'Connor's role, and then O'Connor herself for a few months. O'Connor dropped out of the tour and was replaced by Paula Cole, the former tour guide on the tour, a double album Secret World Live and a concert video titled Secret World Live were both released in 1994.

Gabriel took an innovative route in the promotion of the Us album. Nichola Bruce and Michael Coulson, an artist filmmaker, were not trying to show only pictures of himself, but he asked artist filmmakers Nichola Bruce and Michael Coulson to co-ordinate a marketing campaign involving contemporary artists. Artists like Helen Chadwick, Rebecca Horn, Nils-Udo, Andy Goldsworthy, David Mach, and Yayoi Kusama collaborated to produce original artwork for each of the 11 songs on the multi-million-selling CD. On a Hi-8 video, Coulson and Bruce detailed the process. Bruce's association with Real World and Coulson stayed with the campaign, utilizing the documentary background information for a public EPK, the long-form video All About Us, and the interactive CD-ROM Xplora1.

Gabriel received three more Grammy Awards, all in the Music Video category.

Gabriel said that the team was given free rein, which resulted in the team's various problems, such as a lack of proper budgeting.
