Gary Barlow was born on January 20, 1971, in Frodsham, Cheshire. His passion for music began early, leading him to acquire his first keyboard at age 10 after seeing Depeche Mode. By 15, he entered a BBC competition with his song “Let’s Pray for Christmas,” which led to recording sessions and performances on the northern club circuit. He was discovered by casting agent Nigel Martin-Smith, who was impressed by Barlow’s self-written material, including “A Million Love Songs.” This led to Barlow becoming the lead singer and principal songwriter for the boyband Take That, which was formed around his vocal and songwriting talents. The group quickly rose to prominence, signing with RCA Records and achieving their first number-one single with Barlow’s “Pray.”
Barlow’s career with Take That saw immense success throughout the early to mid-1990s, with albums like “Everything Changes” and “Nobody Else” dominating the charts. He earned an Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song in 1994 for “Pray” and another in 1995 for “Back for Good,” which was a global hit, reaching number one in 31 countries. Following Take That’s initial split, Barlow pursued a solo career, releasing two number-one singles, “Forever Love” and “Love Won’t Wait,” and a number-one album, “Open Road,” in 1996 and 1997. After a period away from the spotlight, focusing on producing for other artists, he rejoined Take That for their highly successful reunion in 2005.
Since the reunion, Barlow has continued to release solo material, including the number-one album “Sing” in 2012, which featured the Diamond Jubilee single he co-wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber. He served as a judge on “The X Factor UK” from 2011 to 2013, on “Let It Shine” in 2017, and “Walk the Line” in 2021. His contributions to music and charity were recognized with an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) appointment in 2012. He continues to perform, release music, and engages in various television and theatrical projects. His career highlights include over 50 million records sold worldwide and numerous awards.
