Who is Robbie Williams Writing Partner? Surprisingly, it is Guy Chambers, Williams’ musical director, with whom he co-wrote “Angels,” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Rock DJ,” and “Feel.” Early in the documentary, which features Williams rewatching and commenting on old footage of himself, he says of Chambers at the time.
“I have a perfect scenario where I write songs with somebody who is one of, if not my best mates, and we write great songs together.” The cooperation abruptly ended in 2002. So, what went wrong, and did the couple ever reconcile?
A Little About Robbie
Singing Robert Peter Williams was born in Stoke-on-Trent on 13 February 1974. Peter Williams (also known as Pete Conway), the son of Peter Williams (Conway) and Janet Farrell, who operated ng right before he got a license at Port Vale FC Club Sociale, worked at the Red Lion in Burslem.
His maternal grandpa was of Kilkenny blood. This influenced his early education at Tunstall’s St Margaret Ward Catholic School. He took part in various school productions, most notably as the Artful Dodger in a performance of Oliver.
The singer and songwriter from England. He rose to prominence when he became a member of a fast-rising pop group known as ‘Take That’ from 1990 down to 1995 before building a solo career in the 60s.
Robbie’s debut release ‘Life Through a Lens,’ was released in 1997 and featured his “Angels,” the band’s hallmark song. His second album, I’ve Been Expecting You, had his first number-one hits, “Millennium” and “She’s the One.”
Robbie’s Career So Far
He has seven UK No. 1 singles in his career, and almost every one of them has hit the top charts in the UK. Six of his albums have sold over a million copies and are among the top 100 best-selling albums in the world.
Especially the United Kingdom, with two in the top 60, and he set a Guinness World Record in 2006 during his Close Encounters Tour, he sold 1.6 million tickets in a single day.
Williams has over 18 Brit Awards bestowed to him, including four for Best British Male Artist and two for Outstanding Contribution to Music. He received an Icon Award for his lasting impact on British culture, eight German ECHO Awards, and three MTV European Music Awards.
In 2004, Robbie was recognized and received an award following an induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame 2004 as a 1990s artist. As a solo artist, he has sold 20.26 million albums and 9.2 million singles in the UK, following the rules of BPI.
His Writing Partner, Guy
Guy Chambers is a songwriter, producer, and musician born in London on January 12, 1963. Before working with Robbie Williams, the brilliant singer was a member of his band, The Lemon Trees, which split in 1995.
Following his departure from Take That, Rob sought a solo career and began working with Guy – whom he later called his “best friend” – on his debut solo album, Life Through a Lens, in 1997.
After that, they collaborated on four more albums before things went south. Their professional collaboration ended in 2002. Meanwhile, while Guy is best recognized for his work with Robbie, he has also produced records for The Wanted, Kylie Minogue, and Charlotte Church.
What Happened Between Both Parties?
Robbie and Guy parted ways in 2002 after five years of collaboration. A disagreement over a lucrative deal apparently caused their split. Rob stuck with the label EMI.
He reportedly stated they had “made up” three years after their professional and personal relationship ended abruptly. “Me and Guy are friends again,” he remarked at a press conference in 2005.
“We are speaking now and will collaborate in the future; you will all be pleased to hear.” Robbie and Guy have remained friends since then, and they continue to work together on the singer’s albums. They follow one another on Instagram, and Guy even mentioned Robbie’s Netflix documentary, which will be released in November 2023.
“The documentary is a very honest look back at his extraordinary career and our friendship,” he said with a touching vintage photo. It was a creative meeting at a pivotal period in our lives, and it depicts the two of us’ journey from the early joy of creating ‘Angels’ to the trials of touring and the anxiety of recording Escapology.”
Guy’s Life Now
Guy and his wife, Emma, have four children. They split their time between their Camden and Sussex homes.
He continues to work as a producer, prefers a quieter life with his family, and appreciates “good wine, good food, cinema, and pretty much everything French,” according to his website.
