Guy Chambers
Visiting Professor
Guy Chambers is one of the UK’s most successful living songwriters having worked with artists and writers including Tina Turner, Kyle Minogue, Will Young, Scissor Sisters, Busted, Melanie C, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, James Blunt, Marlon Roudette, Rufus Wainwright, Mark Ronson and many more. Guy is perhaps best known for his work with Robbie Williams, co-writing some of Williams’ most iconic hits including ‘Angels’, ‘Millennium’, ‘Feel’, ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Rock DJ’.
Guy is consistently seeking new creative endeavours and in 2019, Guy and Robbie Williams teamed up with Chris Heath to compose the music and lyrics for the RSC’s musical adaptation of David Walliams’ ‘The Boy in the Dress’. The show opened to five-star reviews (The Independent, What’s On Stage) at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon. This builds on the success of Guy’s children’s folk opera based on the Oscar Wilde short story ‘The Selfish Giant’ – which he dedicated to his late mother, Pat. The show premiered at The Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End in 2018.
