The Godfather of electronic pop music has moved home in search of a new life in the sun and new challenges in Hollywood.
At the end of the 1970s, Gary Numan found himself to be one of the world's biggest-selling recording artists, "Are 'Friends' Electric?" and "Cars" were huge hits, no one had heard, or seen, anyone like Gary Numan. The Asperger's syndrome that helped forge Numan's tunnel-like ambition, informing his music and image, also brought problems. At a time when the public knew little about the condition, the press labeled him a freak, one paper suggested his parents should have been doctored for giving birth to him. Depression, anxiety, near bankruptcy and a long period in the wilderness followed. Then Numan fell in love with his biggest fan, Gemma, who helped him rediscover his passion for music.
Gary Numan, the godfather of electronic music is on a one-way trip to crack America, returning to the studio for the first time in nearly a decade. Android in La La Land is a true celebration of a music-making pioneer and the love story that helped him turn his life around.
