Elvis Costello is a singer, songwriter, producer, author and television host from London who emerged in 1977 with My Aim Is True and quickly became one of the sharpest lyricists in rock. With the Attractions he made This Year's Model and Armed Forces, which include "Alison," "Pump It Up" and "Oliver's Army," then followed his curiosity into country, soul, chamber music and jazz on King of America, Spike, The Juliet Letters, Painted from Memory with Burt Bacharach and North. "Veronica," "Everyday I Write the Book" and "She" are among his best known songs, and "Scarlet Tide" earned an Oscar nomination. Look Now won a Grammy, and later albums include Hey Clockface and The Boy Named If. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, and wrote the memoir Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink.
