Stephen Hague

Stephen Hague is an American music producer most active with various British acts in the 1980s. He was an influential figure in the synthpop movement. Starting his career as a session keyboardist and a member of the band Jules and the Polar Bears, his first noted production was on Malcolm McLaren's "Madam Butterfly" single, thought the video for the track got more attention than the music. His first full album production was for Crush by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. He later worked with Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Andy Pratt, Dubstar, Erasure and Robbie Robertson, producing their respective hits "West End Girls", "True Faith", "Stars" and "A Little Respect."
