Renowned around the world as one of the greatest and most distinctive heavy
metal vocalists of all time, Bruce Dickinson is best known as the lead singer of
the iconic British band, Iron Maiden, who he joined in 1981 and who have sold
well over 100 million albums. He has also become globally renowned as an
author, pilot, broadcaster, brewer, businessman, sportsman, spoken-word
performer, screenwriter and internationally successful solo artist.

His first solo album, Tattooed Millionaire, was released in May 1990, with its
follow-up Balls To Picasso four years later (1994). It was on this second album
that Dickinson first started working with guitarist Roy Z and despite a one
album hiatus, he was joined again by him for all his subsequent solo studio
albums – Accident Of Birth (1997), The Chemical Wedding (1998) and Tyranny
Of Souls (2005).

Prior to Dickinson’s third solo album Skunkworks (1996) there was a landmark
event in his storied career as he led his touring band to perform in war-torn,
occupied Bosnia. The subsequent documentary, Scream For Me Sarajevo,
became an award winning movie (2018) and soundtrack album. He was made
an Honorary Citizen of Sarajevo in 2019 when he last visited the country.
Aside from continued touring and recording with Iron Maiden, Dickinson found
time to release his Sunday Times best-selling autobiography, What Does this
Button do in 2017 and subsequently toured it around the world, billed as An
Evening With Bruce Dickinson.

Always on the back burner was a desire to create another solo musical project
and in 2021 Dickinson finally had the opportunity to focus on that anew. He
turned once more to Roy Z to work on some unfinished ideas together and
that rapidly became his forthcoming seventh studio album, The Mandrake
Project, which will be released in early 2024, via a worldwide deal with BMG.
With The Mandrake Project the celebrated polymath is creating a whole new
world in music, and beyond. The Mandrake Project could well be the crowning
achievement of Dickinson’s solo career… so far!
