Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on January 03, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Dave Dobbyn! From rocking stages with Th' Dudes to smashing hits with DD Smash, you've given us countless reasons to sing along (often badly) and dance like nobody's watching. Your timeless tunes have become the soundtrack of Kiwi summers—especially your iconic album "Loyal," which rightfully snagged Album of the Year in 1988.

Here's hoping today brings you as much joy as you've brought fans over decades of unforgettable music. May your birthday be filled with laughter, good friends, and perhaps a spontaneous chorus or two singing loudly off-key in tribute. Cheers to another year staying forever loyal!
