Early life Forsey began his career as a percussionist in the mid-late 1960s as the drummer for The Spectrum and as the drummer in Udo Lindenberg's Panik Orchester until 1976, during which he also played percussion for Amon Düül II. By late 1970s, he was a pioneer of disco, working with artists such as Lipstique, Claudja Barry, La Bionda, the Italo disco pioneers and Boney M. He became Giorgio Moroder's drummer and played on records by Donna Summer, including Bad Girls, Sparks' "No. 1 in Heaven" and Blondie's single "Call Me".

Production career Like Moroder, Forsey started producing albums himself, and in 1982 produced Billy Idol's solo debut al
