Thomas Morgan Robertson, known by his stage name Thomas Dolby, is an English musician, producer, composer, entrepreneur, and teacher, renowned for his innovative contributions to music and technology. Born on October 14, 1958, in London, Dolby rose to prominence in the 1980s with his hit singles "She Blinded Me with Science" and "Hyperactive!". His distinctive blend of electronic music and inventive compositions made him a key figure in the new wave movement, though his work spans a wide array of musical styles beyond the high-energy pop sound. In the 1990s, Dolby founded Beatnik, a Silicon Valley software company that developed polyphonic ringtone software, including the iconic Nokia tune. His groundbreaking work in technology extended to serving as Music Director for TED Conferences and leading the Music for New Media program at Johns Hopkins University's Peabody Institute since 2014. Dolby’s talents have earned him numerous accolades, including a “Lifetime Achievement in Internet Music” award from Yahoo! Internet Life in 1998, The Moog Innovation Award in 2012, and the Roland Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. A versatile artist, Dolby has collaborated with legends such as David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, and Foreigner, and has contributed to numerous film scores and video games. An author as well, Dolby's memoir "The Speed of Sound" chronicles his adventures in the music industry and beyond, offering readers a glimpse into his multifaceted career. With his novel "Prevailing Wind" set to release in June 2024, Dolby continues to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation, inspiring audiences worldwide with his endless passion for music and technology.
