Guy Chambers
Guy Chambers, born on January 12, 1963, in Hammersmith, London, is a renowned British songwriter, keyboardist, and record producer. He is widely recognized for his prolific collaboration with pop superstar Robbie Williams, with whom he co-wrote numerous hits in the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as "Angels," "Rock DJ," "Feel," and "Let Me Entertain You." Chambers' career began with a strong foundation in music; he studied composition and piano at the Guildhall School of Music in London. He was also a member of the Unicorn Theatre in London, which nurtured his early interest in musicals and plays.
In 1986, Chambers joined the band World Party and contributed to their songwriting. He later formed his own band, The Lemon Trees, in 1992, although it disbanded in 1995 after releasing one album. His partnership with Robbie Williams began in 1997, leading to a series of successful collaborations. However, they had a falling out in 2002 due to a dispute over a deal with EMI and a breakdown in their partnership during the "Escapology" album. They reconciled in 2005 and resumed their collaboration, working on Williams' albums "Take the Crown" (2012), "Swings Both Ways" (2013), and "The Heavy Entertainment Show" (2016).
Beyond his work with Williams, Chambers has collaborated with a diverse array of artists, including Mark Ronson, The Wanted, Kylie Minogue, and James Blunt. He has written or co-written songs like "Real to Me" by Brian McFadden and "Come as You Are" by Beverley Knight. Chambers has also produced and contributed to numerous albums, earning over 50 gold or platinum certifications throughout his career.
Guy Chambers resides with his wife Emma and their four children in Camden and Sussex, where he enjoys good wine, food, cinema, and French culture.
