About
Also known as: Dave Grahan, David Gahan, Gahan
Dave Gahan is the baritone behind Depeche Mode, the band he joined in 1980 after Vince Clarke heard him do David Bowie's "Heroes". He's also the one who suggested the name, lifted from a French fashion magazine. Depeche Mode went on to sell over 100 million records and landed four Billboard Alternative Songs number ones, including "Enjoy the Silence" and "I Feel You". Q magazine ranked him among the 100 greatest singers and frontmen, and the band entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020. Away from the mothership, he started writing his own material. Paper Monsters (2003), co written with guitarist Knox Chandler, spawned the UK Top 20 hit "Dirty Sticky Floors", followed by Hourglass in 2007. He later wrote lyrics and sang lead on three Soulsavers albums, The Light the Dead See, Angels & Ghosts and Imposter, the last one bringing the video for "Metal Heart" in 2021. His songs also made it onto Depeche Mode's Playing the Angel, including the Grammy nominated "Suffer Well".
