Paul Humphreys

Paul Humphreys (born Paul David Humphreys, 27 February 1960, in London) is a British musician and songwriter who serves as the keyboardist, backing vocalist and occasional lead vocalist of synthpop band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). The pairing of Humphreys and co-founder Andy McCluskey remains the group's most recognized visual identifier.

Humphreys fulfilled his role from the group's inception in 1978 to his 1989 departure, seven years before their disbandment, and returned for their 2006 reformation. Although he did not perform on any of the band's three 1990s albums, 1991's Sugar Tax is the only one of OMD's eleven studio albums not to feature Humphreys' songwriting contribution. He sang two of the band's biggest hits: "Souvenir" and "(Forever) Live and Die", as well as modest chart hit "Secret", and a number of album tracks and B-sides. He shares lead vocals with McCluskey on fan favourite "Electricity". Humphreys became the frontman of now-defunct spin-off group The Listening Pool in 1989, and has been keyboardist for the band Onetwo since 2000.
