Musical polymath Damon Albarn is one of the UK’s most prolific and influential artists. The creative force on over 40 albums: band projects, solo albums, collaborations, operas and film soundtracks and recipient of 6 Brits, 2 Ivor Novellos and a Grammy.
blur’s debut ‘Leisure’ in ‘91 marked the start of an extensive and eclectic career. Iconic works for blur and later Gorillaz are interspersed with film soundtracks, contributing to 'Ravenous' (1999) with Michael Nyman and 'Reykjavik 101' (2001).
