Gary Numan : Listen to My Voice

Gary Numan is widely recognised as being the most important electronic pioneer in music history. Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, hip-hop innovator Afrika Bambaataa, and Oscar winner and Nine Inch Nails auteur Trent Reznor are among legions of musicians who cite his music as having been important in their own evolution. However, Numan’s journey from punky pub performer to Godfather of Electronica hasn’t been a smooth one. Listen To My Voice chronicles his life as he rises to become the hottest pop star of 1980, retires a year later at the age of twenty-one, falls from favour and hits rock bottom during the 1980s, struggles to regain relevance during the 90s and eventually battles his way back to the top of his game where he remains to this day. For more than four decades Numan has been built up, torn down, praised, ridiculed, buried, resurrected, and ultimately respected. This is his story, listen to his voice.
