Gorillaz | Artist

Gorillaz is a British virtual band formed 1998 in London by singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Damon Albarn, and artist Jamie Hewlett. Producer and A&R executive Remi Kabaka Jr. began collaborating with the band in 2011. Albarn was previously in Blur and the ongoing side-project The Good The Bad and The Queen, as well as being a solo recording artist. Hewlett is an English comic creator, animator, illustrator, music video director, and songwriter, best known as the co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band primarily consists of four animated members: Stuart "2-D" Pot, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle and Russel Hobbs. Their fictional world is presented in music videos, interviews and short cartoons. In reality, Albarn is the only permanent musical contributor, and often collaborates with other musicians. Stylistically, the music blends elements of dub, hip hop, indie rock and world music. To-date the band has released six studio albums and one live album. Standouts include Gorillaz, Demon Days, Plastic Beach and Demon Days Live at the Manchester Opera House. Gorillaz have won a swag of awards in both music and music video categories, plus they won Best British Group at the 2018 Brit Awards.
