John Foxx

John Foxx — aka Dennis Leigh (born Sept. 26 1948) — is an English keyboardist, songwriter, and producer from Chorley, Lancashire, who first emerged as the frontman of Ultravox, which he formed in 1974 and recorded three albums with between 1977 and 1978. In 1980, he debuted as a solo artist with the album Metamatic on his own Virgin-imprint Metal Beat. Sessions for the album produced nearly an extra LP’s worth of material that was spread across standalone singles and b-sides, most of them added to subsequent reissues of the title. He released three further albums on the label between 1981 and 1985 before taking a 12-year break from the industry.
