Autor

Scott Walker was an American-born, British singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. He was known for his distinctive voice and for the unorthodox career path which took him from 1960s pop icon to 21st century avant-garde musician. Originally coming to fame in the mid-1960s singing orchestral pop ballads as the frontman of The Walker Brothers, Walker went on to a solo career balancing a light entertainment with increasing artistic innovations in arrangement and writing perspective. Walker revived his solo career from the mid-1980s onwards while drastically reinventing his artistic and compositional methods, via a series of acclaimed and vividly avant-garde albums. Faber & Faber published a collection of his lyrics, Sundog, in 2018, with an introduction by Eimear McBride. Walker died in 2019.
