Gary Barlow

Gary Barlow is a British singer, songwriter, record producer, and television personality, recognized for leading the pop group Take That and his extensive songwriting career. After being discovered by casting agent Nigel Martin-Smith for his self-written material, including ‘A Million Love Songs,’ Gary Barlow quickly rose to prominence as the lead singer and principal songwriter for the pop group Take That. The group signed with RCA Records, achieving their first number-one single with Barlow’s ‘Pray’ in 1993. This success was followed by chart-topping albums such as ‘Everything Changes’ and ‘Nobody Else.’ Barlow earned an Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song in 1994 for ‘Pray’ and another in 1995 for ‘Back for Good,’ a global hit that reached number one in 31 countries.

He also contributed backing vocals to Elton John’s ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ in 1994. Following Take That’s initial split, Barlow launched a successful solo career, releasing two number-one singles, ‘Forever Love’ (1996) and ‘Love Won’t Wait’ (1996), along with a number-one album, ‘Open Road’ (1997). From 2000 to 2004, he focused on producing for other artists before rejoining Take That for their highly anticipated reunion in 2005, which led to the release of ‘Beautiful World’. Further collaborative success included the duet ‘Shame’ with Robbie Williams in 2010 and the Take That album ‘Progress’ the same year.

His upcoming projects include the single ‘If There’s Not A Song About It…’ featuring Colbie Caillat, and the EP ‘Meanwhile,’ both slated for release in 2025. Across his career, Barlow has sold over 50 million records worldwide.
