Biography

Ambitious Lovers were a musical duo from the United States, composed of guitarist/singer Arto Lindsay and keyboardist Peter Scherer. Active from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, their music blended elements of Brazilian music, synthpop, and funk. The band's debut album Envy was released in 1984, marking the start of a series inspired by the seven deadly sins. This was followed by Greed in 1988 and Lust in 1991. Notable collaborations included appearances from prominent musicians such as Caetano Veloso, Marc Ribot, Vernon Reid, Bill Frisell, Nana Vasconcelos, Joey Baron, Melvin Gibbs, and Nile Rodgers. Their song "It Only Has to Happen Once" was featured in the 1990 film Wild Orchid. Despite strong reviews from critics for their three albums, Ambitious Lovers disbanded in 1991.
