John Cale
It would be no understatement to describe Welsh multi-instrumentalist John Cale as a musical icon. With his career now entering its sixth decade, he has earned an international reputation as a musical pioneer.
After devoting his formative musical years to classical and avant-garde music, Cale formed The Velvet Underground with Lou Reed in 1965 and made two albums before parting ways in 1968 and beginning an epic solo career during which he has so far released 16 studio albums.
His list of credits as a producer and collaborator could easily be mistaken for a who's who guide to cultural icons, with Cale having contributed to releases by Brian Eno, Patti Smith, The Stooges, Squeeze, Happy Mondays, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Super Furry Animals, and Manic Street Preachers.
