Phil Gould (born Philip Gabriel Gould, 28
February 1957,
in Hong
Kong) is a British professional drummer from the
Isle
of Wight in southern England.
Career
With singer
Mark King, he was one
of the founding members of the band, Level
42.
Gould's first foray into the charts came with pop group M,
drumming on their single 'Pop Muzik'.
Gould studied percussion at the Guildhall School of Music
in London,
where he met keyboardist, Mike
Lindup. Together with Gould's guitarist brother Boon, they
formed Level 42 and had several major hits,
writing many of the lyrics and co-writing many songs. Their biggest
selling albums
were World Machine
and Running in the Family.
In 1987, the Gould brothers left Level 42, Phil citing nervous
exhaustion and being unhappy with their new pop sound. Phil became a
respected session musician. The single
"It's Over" was a fitting end to the siblings' stay in the band.
King and Lindup have continued with Level 42. They released a
new album in September 2006, titled Retroglide.
