Biography
Geoff Healey
Real name: Geoff Healey
Singer/keyboardist/songwriter Geoff Healey was born in Queensland, Australia and began his music career at the age of 18, at the now-legendary Javeen-bah folk club in Nerang. He worked as a professional actor in film, stage and television before taking up music full-time in 1987, having spent several years as a newspaper and radio journalist on the Gold Coast and in Melbourne.Geoff traveled to the US in 1990, spending three months songwriting in Nashville before heading to London and a series of dates in Europe. He returned to Australia in 1993 to finish work on his first independent CD album, 'The Path', then to Germany for sessions with producer Rolf Wetzel, resulting in the albums 'Wait For Me' and 'No-Man’s Land'.
In 1996 he released his fourth album, 'Geoff Healey's Love In A Suit' in Australia before relocating to Germany in 1998. Seven years of touring followed, culminated in the 2005 CD, 'Canvas Of My Memory'.
Geoff says his songwriting inspirations are many, and that he tries to not get stuck in just one genre or writing style. “I listen to everything; And If there's a bit of my story in a song, it's only going to be a bit. I'm more inspired by what I see and hear, and who I meet. I love creating a story or a feeling, or setting up an image - and then letting people read their own stuff into it”.
Geoff's new album, 'Wherever We Go, There We Are' was released in June 2020.
