Nick Rhodes

Biography

An English keyboardist and producer, Nick Rhodes helped found Duran Duran in 1978 and is the group's only member to have stayed from the start. Born in Birmingham, he left school at sixteen and formed the band with John Taylor and Stephen Duffy, and his synthesizer work produced distinctive parts in Save a Prayer, A View to a Kill, Come Undone and Ordinary World. He pushed Duran Duran to put more effort into music videos before MTV arrived, later co-produced several of their albums, and discovered Kajagoogoo, co-producing their debut single Too Shy and album White Feathers. His side projects have included Arcadia, the Devils and TV Mania, and he provided a voice in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999). In 2022, Duran Duran gained a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
