Guy Chambers (born January 12, 1963 in London ) is a British songwriter , musician and record producer .

Life

Chambers studied composition at the Guildhall School of Music in London . After graduating, Chambers went on tour as a musician, including with Julian Cope and the Waterboys , before turning to Karl Wallinger's project World Party in 1986 and writing with Wallinger for the album Bang . In 1993 Chambers founded his own band The Lemon Tree , but in 1995 the band ended. He then turned more and more to songwriting until he met Robbie Williams in January 1997 .

Collaboration with Robbie Williams

Chambers co-wrote and produced Williams' first five albums. Each of these albums reached number 1 on the UK charts, and in total they sold more than 37 million copies worldwide. Chambers has been involved in many of Williams' hits, including Angels (for which he wrote the chorus ), Rock DJ , Feel , Millennium and Let Me Entertain You . After the recordings of Williams' fifth album Escapology in 2002, the collaboration ended due to artistic differences. In 2013, the two of them got back together and worked together on Williams' album Swings Both Ways , which Chambers also produced.

After breaking up with Williams

Since then, Chambers has written and produced for a wide variety of artists, including Katie Melua , Texas , Will Young , Rachel Stevens, and Andrea Bocelli . He also worked on a number of film scores including the soundtracks for Bridget Jones - Chocolate for Breakfast , Finding Nemo, and Actually ... Love, as well as a collaboration with Queen on We Are the Champions for the film Knight of the Passion .

Chambers wrote songs for Kylie Minogue's 2000 album Light Years , including the single Kids (a duet with Williams) and Your Disco Needs You .
