Phil Fearon (born July 30, 1956 in London , England ) is a British music producer , songwriter , singer and multi-instrumentalist . He also performed under the band name Phil Fearon & Galaxy in the 1980s .

Life

Fearon was a member of the London R&B band Candidates in the late 1970s . At the beginning of the 1980s he also began to work as a music producer. Together with singers Dorothy Galdes and Julie Gore, he produced funk and pop- inspired dance tracks . The first single was largely ignored in 1982; the second release called Dancing Tight was presented in 1983 by radio DJ Robbie Vincent in his broadcast and then reached number four in the British single charts . In the same year two more singles were able to place themselves in the charts. The singles of 1984 reached number five ( What Do I Do ) and number ten ( Everybody's Laughing ). After comparatively weak sales results for the next releases, Fearon gave the production of the single I Can Prove It into the hands of the most successful British producers of the time, Stock Aitken Waterman . The title reached number eight in the single charts.

In 1987 Fearon ended his stage career and founded the record label Production House Records . Among other things, the drum and bass / house band Baby D released there , which led the UK Top 40 for two weeks in 1994 with the rave single Let Me Be Your Fantasy .

Fearon is married to Dorothy Galdes, the former singer of Galaxy and Baby D. Their daughter Stephanie is an actress .
