Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy was there at the very start of Duran Duran, a founding member who sang and played bass in the band's first lineup in 1978. By the end of the decade he had moved on, setting off to make records under a string of names, from Dr. Calculus to Tin Tin.

His big moment came in 1985 with "Kiss Me", the fizzing, synth-bright single from The Ups and Downs on Virgin, a slice of new wave pop with a grin all over it.

He never settled for one persona. He formed the Lilac Time with his elder brother Nick in 1986, and he has written songs with Robbie Williams and Steven Page.
