Geoffrey Paul Barrow (born 9 December 1971)[1] is an English music producer, composer, and DJ. He is a member of the bands Portishead, Beak, and Quakers, and he has scored several films.
Portishead was formed in 1991. He named the band after the small coastal town near Bristol where Barrow grew up.[2] On his intentions in forming Portishead, he has stated, "I just wanted to make interesting music, proper songs with a proper life span and a decent place in people's record collections."[3] Barrow and Portishead became major figures in the Bristol underground scene, which gave rise to many artists with whom Barrow came to work in different capacities.
