A conversation with Rob Dickinson – singer/songwriter with 90’s Brit Rock/Shoegaze band Catherine Wheel plus solo projects, and founder of Singer Vehicle Design a company that remodels and re-imagines Porsche 911’s.
Dickinson shares experiences on songwriting inspired by the ocean’s horizon to escape a small English town, literally walking away from a pop career at it’s peak, and creating act two of life turning the passion for cars from a hobby into a business on the boulevards of West Hollywood.
It’s a nice interview that’s worth a full listen but here are 2 interesting quotes:
“When the band split up in 2000, we owed Columbia Records $1.6 million.”
“I think I will come back to it eventually. I think we’ll make another record actually before we all die.”
