Roddy Frame Biography

Birthday	Jan 29
Birth Year	1964

Roddy Frame is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on January 29, 1964 in East Kilbride, Scotland, United Kingdom. Roddy Frame, born 29 January 1964, is a Scottish singer-songwriter. Frame was the founder and leader of 1980s new wave band Aztec Camera. He has been pursuing a solo career ever since. In November 2013, journalist Brian Donaldson described Frame as: “Aztec Camera wunderkind-turned-elder statesman of intelligent, melodic, wistful Scotpop.”

Frame spent time in New Orleans listening to Bob Dylan’s Infidels, after High Land, Hard Rain. Frame started writing songs after learning that Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits’ singer and guitarist, produced the album. Frame signed the band to the WEA label and hired Knopfler as Aztec Camera’s producer for Knife in 1984. While the song’s title track is almost nine minutes long, “All I need is Everything” was heard on radio.

In a 1988 interview, Frame spoke of the significant influence of the “punk revolution” during his early adolescence, when he began writing songs around the age of 13. He spoke of subsequently discovering Alternative TV (ATV), which led to an exploration of earlier music influences, as ATV’s co-founder Mark Perry was himself influenced by Frank Zappa and Arthur Lee’s band Love.

Frame married in 1990. In 1993, Frame had been residing in London, UK for 11 years, but still considered Scotland his “spiritual” home. However, Frame explained, that he was not a “patriot” and considered himself a “global citizen”. His opinion was that Scotland was more meaningful than “square slice” and “plain bread”, and described such stereotypical notions as “nonsense”.

High Land, Hard Rain was their first album, released by Aztec Camera in 1983 on Rough Trade Records. However, it did not contain the first two Postcard singles. Aztec Camera was immediately recognized as one of the major acts on Rough Trade’s label, thanks to their hit single “Oblivious”, which was the album’s opener. Frame sang beautiful lyrics about love and loss on tracks like “Walk Out to Winter” or “Back on Board”. These themes would be revisited on future Aztec Camera albums. American magazine Creem published an American review of the album after its initial release. It stated that “The world isn’t perfect.” High Land, Hard Rain is close.

My sister brought me this picture in 1976 when I was 11. Someone gave me two tickets to David Bowie’s concert last evening and I couldn’t go. She gave them to me and I suffered a panic attack. It was the most cruel thing anyone could have done to me. Bowie’s strange thing is that he has come out of the other side of pop and seems to be doing fine. Jonathan Ross interviewed Bowie the other day, and he was so friendly. That is the most remarkable thing about him.

Frame was close friends with Edwyn Collins for many years. Collins was also signed to Postcard Records with Orange Juice in the 1980s. Collins and Frame collaborated together on the Aztec camera album Stray, which included a live performance by Collins of “Consolation prize”. Sakamoto produced Aztec Camera’s Dreamland album. Frame recorded the vocals for “Same Dream. Same Destination” from Sakamoto’s 1994 album Sweet Revenge.

Aztec Camera’s third album, 1987’s Love, was recorded in the US with soul, R&B and pop producers such as Michael Jonzun, Tommy LiPuma and Rob Mounsey. By this stage of the band’s history, Frame represented its single driving force and he explained in 2014: “… I was young and I wanted to do things like go to America and make a sort of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis record”. The album was engineered by Eric Calvi, who had previously worked with Afrika Bambaataa and Al Jarreau, and featured the backing vocals of soul and R&B singers such as Dan Hartman and Tawatha Agee. One of the radio singles from Love, “Somewhere in My Heart”, was Aztec Camera’s first “top 10” chart hit and Frame explained his inspiration at the time of writing the song in 2014:
