Duran Duran have sold over 70 million records, consistently topped the charts around the world and are now recognized as one of the most successful groups of the past few decades. With an undeniable musical chemistry and captivating signature style, they have continued to fuse pop music, art and fashion to an unprecedented degree, and when they first broke onto the scene in the early 1980s they single-handedly transformed music video production from a simple marketing tool into one of the music industry's most valuable assets.

With exotic locations, beautiful girls and stunning visuals, Duran Duran set a whole new standard. Their success followed years of hard work and relentless touring. Good looks, great style and a wealth of confidence completed the package.

Over the years they have written classic, timeless pop songs combining rock guitars with compelling melodies and memorable lyrics. They have played to sold-out audiences and broken box office records. The media have compared them to the Beatles, with Rolling Stone magazine calling them 'The Fab Five.' Throughout their rich and colorful career they have tapped into the mood of the times and captured an army of adoring fans.

Today they are as unstoppable a force as ever - poised for the release of their next studio album (slated for release on Epic Records in the fall of 2007) on which they have collaborated with top producers Timbaland and Nate 'Danja' Hills, as well as long-time Duran fan Justin Timberlake.

Formed in Birmingham, England in 1978, by keyboardist Nick Rhodes and bassist John Taylor, Duran Duran's sound was inspired by the soul music of their youth, the vibrant New York underground music scene of the 70's (the New York Dolls and Velvet Underground), the iconic David Bowie and avant garde bands like Roxy Music. At the time, John was at Art College and Nick was finishing up at high school.

Classic chart-toppers such as 'Hungry Like the Wolf', 'Rio' and 'Save A Prayer' followed on their multi-platinum, sophomore release 'Rio', as the band shot to another level of success with their exotic and groundbreaking videos.
