George Alan
O'Dowd, (born 14 June 1961) known professionally as Boy George, is an English
singer, songwriter, DJ, fashion designer and photographer. He is the lead
singer of the Grammy- and Brit Award-winning pop band Culture Club. At the
height of the band's fame, during the 1980s, they recorded global hit songs
such as "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", "Time (Clock of the
Heart)" and "Karma Chameleon" and George was known for his
soulful voice and androgynous appearance. He was part of the English New
Romantic movement which emerged in the late 1970s to the early 1980s. He has
been a coach on The Voice UK since 2016.
His music
is often classified as blue-eyed soul, which is influenced by rhythm and blues
and reggae. He was lead singer of Jesus Loves You during the period 1989–1992.
His 1990s and 2000s-era solo music has glam influences, such as David Bowie and
Iggy Pop. More recently, he has released fewer music recordings, splitting his
time between songwriting, DJing, writing books, designing clothes and
photography.
