As guitarist and backing vocalist for Radiohead, Ed O’Brien developed a distinctive and deeply textural style that served as a sonic cornerstone of influential albums like OK Computer (1997) and Kid A (2000). Along with Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, O’Brien was part of the three-guitar battery that was a hallmark of the band’s sound. Ed released his first solo album Earth under the name EOB in 2020. He was a founding director of the Featured Artists Coalition, a nonprofit organisation that protects the rights of artists in the digital age.
