Breakfast in America Roger Hodgson singer/songwriter

Breakfast in America written and composed by Former Supertramp Roger Hodgson. The songs Roger Hodgson sings that are often referred to as Supertramp songs are songs that Roger wrote and composed alone - that is how he creates music. He will often hear the musical composition first, then the lyrics come. Sometimes he will hear the whole song complete inside himself before he puts it down on paper and recording.

When he was with Supertramp, he would make a demo of the song and bring it to the band for them to learn their parts. So Supertramp as a band never wrote and composed together, there were only 2 songwriters for the band. The songs Roger sings lead vocals on are the ones he composed the music and lyrics for, and the songs Rick sings lead vocals on are the ones that he wrote.

2009 marked the 30th anniversary of the album Breakfast in America with over 20 million albums sold to date. And his song Breakfast in America has been covered by many bands and was #1 in the charts in many countries.
