Phil Pickett

Philip Stuart "Phil" Pickett is a double Ivor Novello Award-winning English composer, musician, vocal arranger, producer and artist manager. Born on 19 November 1946 in Munster Germany (B.A.O.R.) the only child of father Philip George Pickett, an RAF pilot officer killed in a flying accident in Rhodesia in 1950 and mother Eileen Elizabeth Pickett who died in Spain in 1993.
He is principally known as a songwriter and musician and for co-writing and recording Karma Chameleon one of the biggest hits of the 1980s era with
Boy George and Culture Club during his tenure as keyboard player and backing vocalist for the group on every live performance throughout the world during the 1980s. Prior to this, Pickett co-founded hit-making pop band Sailor in 1973 which achieved considerable chart-topping success in the mid-1970s Glamrock period and with whom he still regularly performs to the present day. Pickett's songs have also been recorded by many other artists including Labi Siffre, Sheena Easton, Georgie Fame, Joe Cocker, Brian Kennedy and Malcolm McLaren, used in countless TV commercials and included in the soundtrack of Hollywood films Electric Dreams Top Secret The Lost Boys and his West End Musical Theatre debut, Casper The Musical〔"Casper The Friendly Ghost", Shaftesbury Theatre 1999〕
==Early years==

Upon leaving school at Sutton Coldfield near Birmingham England in 1964, Phil took the advice of a family mentor, Philip Sutton, a director of Garfield Weston's Associated British Foods, by choosing to take an apprenticeship in the bakery industry, but by this time was also immersing himself in a growing passion and talent for musical composition. An interest in American music, particularly R&B, led him to form his first band, "The Blues Unit" with some school and college friends. After completing his apprenticeship on his 21st birthday, whilst taking a 12-month sabbatical travelling across the USA, Pickett enjoyed a brief but life-changing chance encounter with legendary jazz musician Duke Ellington in a North Beach supper club in San Francisco, who whilst raising a glass to the young man, strongly advised him to "follow his heart" and return to England to pursue a music career instead.
