The Previous Icon Was Ivan Doroschuk
He wowed in 1982 with an eccentric synth track full of mad scientist samples, hitting No. 5 and blending pop with tech innovation. Producing for major acts and playing on big albums, his professorial look and experimental videos captured the decade’s gadget fascination. Later founding a tech company for ringtones and VR, he returned to music. That geeky hit endures in ads and culture, but he stays an underappreciated pioneer for 80s tech lovers.
Can you name this science-obsessed synth innovator?
