## Bio

Nicholas Rodney Drake signed to Island Records at twenty while still at Cambridge and released Five Leaves Left in 1969. Two more albums followed: Bryter Layter in 1971 and Pink Moon in 1972. He suffered from depression, avoided live performance, and after Pink Moon withdrew entirely, retreating to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. On 25 November 1974, he died from an overdose of antidepressants. The 1979 retrospective Fruit Tree allowed his work to be reassessed; the first biography appeared in 1997, followed by two documentary films at the turn of the century.
