Person
John Foxx (born Dennis Leigh; 26 September 1948) is an English singer, musician, artist, photographer, graphic designer, writer, teacher and lecturer. He was the original lead singer of the band Ultravox!, before leaving to embark on a solo career in 1980 with the album Metamatic. Primarily associated with electronic music, he has also pursued a parallel career in graphic design. AllMusic described Foxx as an influential cult figure whose "detached, jolting vocal style inspired mainstream and underground artists across the decades."
