Hi to everyone. I've been a pro musician / songwriter / producer since I left school at 17. Had my first record deal at age 16. Made my first demo when I was 12 and sent it to all record labels. 34 No 1 albums later I still have the love, passion and desire for my chosen way of life. Music is a way of life and I live my dream everyday Im alive. I live to work with talented and passionate people who care about their music so if you are that person fell free to contact me and become my friend. This is what people say about me..
One of the most successful drummers on the global session
scene, Geoff Dugmore
is who you hear on such major hits as Rod Stewart's
"Downtown Train" and "I Can't Deny It"', Tina
Turner's "I Don't Want to Lose You" and "Foreign
Affair" album plus albums by multi-platinum artists Dido,
Natalie Imbruglia, Blondie's Debbie
Harry, Robbie Williams, and Gabrielle,
amongst others. There are also hits and notables, past and present from the
likes of Appleton, Nick
Carter of the Backstreet Boys, Steve Winwood,
Joan Armatrading, Danny
Wilson, Climie Fisher, Killing Joke, the Gypsy Kings, Stabbing Westward,
and literally hundreds of others. And that list grows by the day!
Geoff
grew up playing everything from the Average White Band, Yes and Led Zeppelin, to
soul classics in pubs and clubs across Scotland. With his band The Europeans he
made the big move to London, where he now writes, produces, develops artists,
and plays sessions of every imaginable calling. In addition to drums and
percussion there's guitar, bass, keys, hammer dulcimer, bazooki and vocals, plus
he is often musical director. He doesn't limit himself to just the studios...
Recent gigging and tours include Mike Scott & The Waterboys, One Giant Leap
and Yazawa.
Geoff :
"Playing live is the soul of the music. It keeps me in touch with the
audience. When I see people moving I know I've hit the groove. But for me, it
doesn't matter whether I'm playing live or in the studio, I've got the best job
in the world."
That love of life and music is what makes Geoff
so special. Coupled with enthusiasm and talent, as well as the respect and
admiration of such top producers as Ron St Germain, Trevor Horn, Ash Howes, Greg
Alexander and fellow musicians and artists, it's also what makes him so
successful.
