7-6-5: 18 Pieces For Orchestra (3CD set) is available now!
This is the official YouTube channel for composer and keyboard player Tony Banks.
Tony Banks is a founding member of Genesis along with Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel and Anthony Phillips and, after a few incarnations, the band evolved further with the introduction of Phil Collins, and with Steve Hackett who replaced Phillips. Genesis became one of the major exponents of progressive rock music in the early seventies. In 1975 Peter Gabriel left the band to pursue a solo career and Phil Collins replaced Gabriel as lead vocalist. Genesis went on to become one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1980s and 1990s with albums such as Duke and We Can’t Dance.

“If you're singing your own material, it has a certain kind of something about it. But I did discover when I was singing that I had to find a way of doing it that was convincing, and that required melody lines to be a little simpler, and lyrics to be fairly direct.” - Tony, on “The Fugitive”.
