Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on May 19, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Martyn Ware! From pioneering synth-pop with The Human League to grooving us through the '80s with Heaven 17, you've always known how to keep our feet tapping and our hairstyles questionable. Your iconic keyboard riffs and vocals have soundtracked countless dance floors—proving once again that synthesizers age far better than shoulder pads.

And let's not forget your wizardry behind the mixing desk—producing hits for Erasure and collaborating brilliantly with Vince Clarke. Clearly, your musical genius is timeless (unlike some of those neon outfits). Here's wishing you another year filled with catchy beats, creative adventures, and minimal fashion regrets!
