Philip Selway is best known as the meticulous and understated drummer of the iconic British rock band Radiohead. Born on May 23, 1967, in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England, Selway's signature rhythms have been an integral part of Radiohead's sound since its inception in the late 1980s. His work with the band has helped to shape the landscape of alternative rock through critically acclaimed albums such as "OK Computer," "Kid A," and "In Rainbows."

Beyond his contributions to Radiohead, Selway has carved out a distinct space for himself as a solo artist, exposing a different facet of his musicianship. He ventured into solo territory with the release of his debut album, "Familial," in 2010, which showcased his talents as a singer-songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist with a more intimate and folk-tinged sound. His follow-up album, "Weatherhouse," released in 2014, further solidified his capabilities beyond the drum kit, taking on more expansive arrangements and production. In addition to his studio albums, Selway has composed scores for film and has been involved in various charity works. His live and studio works, such as "Live at Evolution Studios" and "Strange Dance," highlight his ongoing dedication to exploring music beyond the boundaries of genre and his role in Radiohead.
