1. Chris
Gilbey
A
Quick
Overview
Of
My
Career

2. Early
Years
• Born
in
the
UK
• High
school
in
South
Africa
(SACS)
• University
of
Cape
Town,
studying
engineering
• First
job:
computer
programmer

3. But
I
wanted
to
be
in
the
music
business…
I
went
back
to
England
and
formed
a
band.
We
were
signed
by
CBS
Records…
and
our
first
single,
“Strange
Girl”
was
Record
Of
The
Week
in
Melody
Maker.

4. The
band
broke
up
and
I
started
designing
clothes
By a stroke of luck Twiggy
saw my designs and
offered to model them….

5. But
all
I
really
wanted
to
was
produce
records…
Here
is
one
person
I
produced…

6. It
was
the
60’s
so
I
travelled
overland
to
India
to
get
enlightened…
I
sold
my
VW
bus
in
Greece,
then
hitched
rides,
caught
public
transport
and
met
a
lot
of
interesXng
people
along
the
way…

7. When
I
arrived
in
Australia
I
got
a
job
running
Albert
ProducXons…
Here
are
some
of
the
hit
records
I
was
involved
in
at
that
Xme.
The
rules
I
learned
then
are
applicable
in
every
business
and
as
valid
now.
I
built
the
label
from
the
ground
up;
signed
the
acts
and
learned
the
hard
way:
I
learned
how
people
funcXon
-­‐
and
make
decisions.
Once
I
understood
that
I
needed
to
understand
how
the
ecosystem
worked
and
then
changed
how
I
operated
to
fit
in
with
it,
the
business
part
was
easy.
I
started
to
have
hits.

8. Then
I
became
a
band
manager
I
took
seminal
Australian
punk
rock
band,
The
Saints,
to
the
UK
and
had
more
hit
records.

9. I
was
asked
to
return
to
Australia
to
run
a
publishing
company
I
had
the
good
fortune
to
become
Managing
Director
of
ATV
Northern
Songs,
the
company
that
owned
the
song
catalogue
of
The
Beatles.
And
then
I
signed
and
produced
a
band
that
I
sXll
think
are
one
of
the
most
musically
influenXal
acts
to
come
out
of
Australia…

10. I
set
up
a
joint
venture
with
the
entertainment
giant,
MCA
Music
I
signed
acts,
produced
records,
videos,
TV
programs
and
more.
I
joined
BMG
