Nick Gilder (born December 21, 1951 in London, England) first came to prominence as frontman for the Canadian glam rock band Sweeney Todd. They had a number one hit, “Roxy Roller”, which held on to the top spot in the Canadian music charts for 3 weeks in 1975. It went on to win a Juno Award for bestselling single the following year.
Feeling they had international scope, Gilder and fellow band member, guitarist and songwriting partner, James McCulloch left the band and signed an American record deal.
It wasn’t until his second solo album, which spawned the smash hit “Hot Child in the City”, that Gilder finally had chart success in the United States. That song went to No.1 both in Canada and the US. It also earned him two more Juno Awards: Best Selling Single and for Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year in Canada as well as a People’s Choice Award in the US.
Gilder has also been successful as a songwriter for artists such as Patty Smyth, Bette Midler, Joe Cocker and Pat Benatar. In 1984, the band Scandal had a number one hit with “The Warrior,” which was written by Gilder and Holly Knight, and it earned him a BMI Airplay Award.
Gilder’s songs have been used in several movies such as Youngblood with Rob Lowe and The Wraith with Charlie Sheen, and in TV series like Sex and the City and That ’70s Show.
Returning to Canada in the mid-1990s, Gilder quickly became a favorite in the classic rock music festivals across Canada, where he continues to record and tour.
