Newton Faulkner

British singer, songwriter and guitarist, full name Sam Newton Battenberg Faulkner, known for his innovative style and creative musicianship.

Faulkner's debut album 2007's "Hand Built by Robots" topped the UK charts. After a badly broken wrist briefly threatened his career, a few metal plates and pins mended him sufficiently to record the 2009 follow-up, aptly titled 'Rebuilt by Humans', followed by "Write It On Your Skin" (2012) and "Studio Zoo" (2013), "Human Love" (2015) and 2017's: "Hit The Ground Running".

He has also appeared in Green Day's American Idiot.
