Biography |
Dougie Poynter is the youngest member of the pop group
McFly, who sprang to stardom as a result the release of
their first single, Five Colours In Her Hair. He was born on
November 30, 1987 in Orsett Hospital, grew up in Corringham,
Essex, and joined McFly when he was only 15. He plays the
bass guitar, as well as providing backing vocals.
Poynter's favourite band, Blink 182, provides an insight to
the sometimes punk-based sound of McFly's music; his
favourite song is Blink 182's "Don't Tell Me It's Over." His
favourite male singer is Tom DeLonge, with Amy Lee from
Evanescence being his favourite female singer. He can also
speak fluent Greek.
Dougie Poynter's first gig was "Wet Wet Wet at Wembley." His
most famous gig, and considered by many to be his best, was
"New Found Glory, Finch, Starting Line."
He's played bass since "before he can remember" - McFly
members Danny and Tom recall Dougie as being by far the best
technical bassist they auditioned - and before McFly, was in
a punk band called Ataiz. Poynter once did an Ataiz gig in
just his boxer shorts. |
