Thomas Morgan Robertson (born 14 October 1958), known by the stage name Thomas Dolby, is an English musician, singer and producer. His hit singles include "She Blinded Me with Science" from 1982 and the 1984 single "Hyperactive!". He has also worked in production and as a session musician, as a technology entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, and as the Music Director for the TED Conference. Currently on faculty at the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, Dolby will lead Peabody’s Music for New Media program, slated to enroll its first students in the fall semester of 2018. Robertson was born in London, England, contrary to at least one interview in the 1980s in which he claimed, "I was born in Cairo, because my father is an archeologist … " (many subsequent articles since that time have re-published or reprinted that spurious claim).
