Graham Cyril Russell (born 11 June 1950) is a British musician, singer-songwriter, producer and guitarist of the soft rock duo Air Supply.

He attended the Carlton-Le-Willows, a technical school in Gedling, Nottingham, where his love for literature and the great English poets only grew further, fueled by study and also an interest that developed on the arts of the paranormal and occult sciences, highlighted by the works of writers Shelley, Keats, and Lord Byron.

In 1963, the music of the Beatles was a strong influence that marked his life that year, and after watching a live show in 1964,[4] Russell decided that he wanted to be a musician.

In 1968, he moved to Australia and formed a second band in Melbourne, and began to also play solo in cafes and dance clubs, gaining ground on the Australian circuit.

In 1979, Clive Davis heard the song "Lost in Love", and the band signed to the label Arista Records.
