Today we celebrate the birthday of one of rock’s most innovative and influential artists — Peter Gabriel, born February 13, 1950.
From his groundbreaking early days as the original frontman of Genesis to his adventurous, genre‑blending solo career, Gabriel has spent decades pushing the boundaries of music, visuals, and technology. Tracks like “Solsbury Hill” and “Sledgehammer” not only defined eras but reshaped what music videos and rock performance could be.
Beyond the hits, Gabriel’s legacy includes deep commitments to human rights, world music, and innovation. He co‑founded the WOMAD festival, helped pioneer digital distribution, and has been a tireless advocate for global humanitarian causes.
