Michael Gordon Oldfield (born 15 May 1953) is a British musician, songwriter, and producer best known for his debut studio album Tubular Bells (1973), which became an unexpected critical and commercial success.

He has adopted a range of musical styles throughout his career, including progressive rock, world, folk, classical, electronic, ambient, and new age music. In the late 1970s, Oldfield began to tour and release more commercial and song-based music, beginning with ’Platinum’ (1979), ’QE2’ (1980), and ’Five Miles Out’ (1982). His most successful album of this period was ’Crises’ (1983), which features the worldwide hit single “Moonlight Shadow“ with vocalist Maggie Reilly.
