From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guy Babylon (born December 20, 1956 in New Windsor, Maryland), is a keyboardist/composer, most noted for his work with Elton John.
Growing up listening to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Yes, and Gentle Giant, he attended Francis Scott Key High School and then moved on to the University of South Florida, earning a BFA in music composition. Upon graduation, he moved to Los Angeles, California. In 1988, he joined Elton John's studio and touring band, appearing on the album Sleeping With the Past. In 1990, he appeared with the group Warpipes, a side project of fellow Elton John member Davey Johnstone. 2001 was a good year for Babylon, as he won an Grammy Award for his contributions on the Elton John / Tim Rice musical Aida. Guy also worked extensively on the Elton John / Bernie Taupin musical "Lestat," (based on the Ann Rice novels). He still lives in Los Angeles with his wife and kids, and currently is a member of Elton John's six-member touring and recording band.
