Click a picture below to begin reading the biography of a collaborator / creator, and an outline of their role in the Gorillaz project to date

(NB with the Gorillaz music, there is often no clear line as to what is attributed to 'the Gorillaz' and what is attributed to collaborators as part of Gorillaz. The musicians section includes all musicians, producers, remixers, etc, who have worked on Gorillaz officially released tracks in any capacity)
