Martin L. Gore

Is an english songwriter singer, guitarist, keyboardist, remixer and DJ.

Is one of founding members of Depeche Mode and the principal composer of most these songs. Some musical hits, their best known compositions are "Personal Jesus", "Enjoy the Silence", "Everything Counts", etc. He is the lead vocalist of the band, but also he usually solo some songs like "Somebody" or "Home".

Gore was born at Dagenham, Essex, England. He left Nicholas School, Basildon, in 1977 and took a job as a bank cashier. In 1980, Gore met Andy "Fletch" Fletcher at the Van Gogh club. Fletcher recruited Gore into his band Composition of Sound along with Vince Clarke. Soon the band drafted Dave Gahan to be the lead singer after hearing him sing "Heroes" by David Bowie. Gahan is credited with the name "Depeche Mode" after seeing the phrase as a title of a French fashion magazine, which later considered taking them to court, but thought it would be good publicity for the magazine to let the band have the name.

 

I heard about this person just listening music. A friend present to me Depeche Mode and I have discovered that Martin Gore is one of the best musical composer than I ever knew. His songs are about different topics considered important in human life, like sex, love, religion.

He have an effect on someone that heard his music, even if their don’t like Depeche Mode, find interesting their songs.

An effect on my studies? He helps me to relax, to think and understand a lot of thing of human life, to open my mind. Or simply relax to begin study.
