About Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel is one of the first artists to bring art-rock and world music into the mainstream.
A key figure of the ’70s and ’80s, the British-born artist/activist started his career as the frontman of Genesis while still a teenager, helping forge a high-concept, restlessly ambitious sound that made the band a cornerstone of progressive rock.
(Gabriel himself often changed costume multiple times during live shows, telling fantastical stories to hold the audience while the band retuned their battery of instruments.)
Gabriel left Genesis in the mid-’70s and embarked on a solo career that shaped his arty tendencies into increasingly pop forms, culminating in 1986’s era-defining So.
