Johnny Marr began his career with The Smiths, launching him on an impressive path as one of the most influential songwriters and guitarists in British independent music. His creative journey has seen him play a central role in The Electronic, Modest Mouse and The Cribs and collaborate with the likes of The Pretenders, Talking Heads, The Avalanches and musician and composer Hans Zimmer. With him, he recorded the score and soundtrack for the latest James Bond film "No Time to Die", including the Oscar-nominated title track, which was co-written with Billie Eilish.
Since his launch in 2013, Marr's solo career has spawned four top ten studio albums in the UK - 'The Messenger' (2013), 'Playland' (2014), 'Call The Comet' (2018), 'Fever Dreams Pts 1-4' (2022) - and a career-spanning book, 'Marr's Guitars' (via Thames & Hudson).
The full extent of this extraordinarily prolific creative period is captured in his latest work, 'Spirit Power: The Best Of Johnny Marr', a comprehensive new collection curated by Johnny featuring songs from his first ten years as a solo artist, several standalone singles and two brand new releases, 'Somewhere' and 'The Answer'. It's a work that reflects Marr's insatiable vitality, his musical range and, above all, his love of melody.
