Having chalked up nearly fifty years at the peak of the music and entertainment industry, Justin Hayward’s voice has been heard the world over. Known principally as the vocalist, lead guitarist and composer for the Moody Blues, his is an enduring talent that has helped to define the times in which he worked. Over the last forty-five years the band has sold fifty five million albums and received numerous awards. Commercial success has gone hand in hand with critical acclaim, The Moody Blues are renowned the world over as innovators and trail blazers who have influenced any number of fellow artists. Justin is honoured with the Moody Blues on the Rock Walk Hall of Fame on Sunset Boulevard.
Born and brought up in Swindon in the UK, Justin’s interest
in music started early when he was five years old and his grandfather
bequeathed him his large collection of 78 rpm recordings. “It opened a world of
imagination to me,” says Justin. Having taught himself to play the
ukulele, he soon progressed to guitar and by his early teens he was playing in
local groups. Upon leaving school at 17 he answered an advertisement in
Melody Maker newspaper and successfully auditioned for UK Rock and Roll hero
Marty Wilde. “I got the job playing guitar for Marty – it was a dream come true
for me”. Justin credits Marty with encouraging him to become a songwriter; he
made several recordings with Marty’s ‘Wilde Three’ and also appeared with them
at the London Palladium. They remain close friends to this day: “Marty is
still my hero”.
Having started the ball rolling as a songwriter in his own
right with a couple of solo singles, he joined the Moody Blues in the summer of
1966. Hitting his stride immediately with the single ‘Fly Me High’, he followed
it up with the classic hit songs ‘Nights in White Satin’ and ‘Tuesday
Afternoon’ from the seminal album ‘Days of Future Past’. This album went on to
become a favourite of the NASA astronauts and was taken aboard the Atlantis
shuttle space craft by Chief astronaut “Hoot” Gibson on many missions.
This purple patch showed no sign of abating as Justin
created other classic, era and genre-defining hits ‘Question’, ‘The Voice’, ‘I
Know You’re Out There Somewhere’ and ‘Your Wildest Dreams’. These laid
the foundation for the incredible success story of the Moody Blues – as well as
his solo work – which continues to this day.
When the Moody Blues took a break from touring in 1975,
Justin worked on the Blue Jays album, followed by the hit single ‘Blue Guitar’
(recorded with the members of 10cc). Although the Moodies continued to record
and tour at the highest level, Justin also found time to create several solo
albums: ‘Songwriter’, ‘Night Flight’, ‘Moving Mountains’ and ‘The View From the
Hill’.
Proving that he could write massive hits outside of the
Moody Blues, Justin hit the Top Ten globally in 1978 with ‘Forever Autumn’ –
created for Jeff Wayne’s ‘War of the Worlds’ album. Becoming, even for a
writer of his stature, a signature song, this was the spur to him taking to the
stage – for five years, from 2005 – 2010, and starring in the spectacular live
stadium production.
In the 1980s he was made a member of the famous ‘SODS’
(The Society of Distinguished Songwriters) and in 2012 he was elected ‘King
SOD’. He also collaborated in 1989 with Mike Batt and the London
Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded the album ‘Classic Blue’.
In March 1997 Justin was chosen as the subject for the TV
show ‘This Is Your Life’ in the presence of many of his friends including Marty
Wilde, Lionel Bart and astronaut “Hoot” Gibson.
In 2005 he was presented with ‘The Golden Note’ award from
ASCAP, the top honour for a British writer, and he has appeared in Nashville
regularly with other songwriters in showcase events. In 2013 The Performing
Rights Society in the UK awarded him his second Ivor Novello statue for
‘Outstanding Achievement’.
Whilst releasing solo albums and DVDs and working on many
different projects, including new solo recordings, Justin continues to tour
with the Moody Blues all across the world. Justin records in Italy and France
of which he says, “Spending time making music in a beautiful place with your
friends is every songwriter’s dream”. His latest album of new songs ‘Spirits Of
The Western Sky’ – for Eagle Rock – was followed by several solo tours, and
most recently a ‘live in concert’ DVD ‘Spirits…Live’, which reached No1 on the
Billboard Video chart. “My acoustic solo tours give the perfect balance to the
big production of the Moody Blues concerts. I’m so lucky to have both”. His
live solo show is currently being shown all over the USA on PBS TV.
He is consistently touring the globe with The Moody Blues,
and as a solo artist – accompanied by Julie Ragins, and Mike Dawes, one of a
new generation of young exceptional and gifted guitar players.
“I have spent most of my life, so far, on the road”, says
Justin. “Playing live and creating a small piece of magic in a room is like a
drug to me, one that I never want to give up”. His is a talent that has helped
soundtrack more than a generation and created a legacy that remains undimmed.
