He has collaborated with the Rolling Stones, Genesis, actor Philip Glenister and celebrity entrepreneur James Caan.

Philip Glenister once said of Dodd: "Phil makes writing seem effortless. But only because you don’t see the craft and the graft that has to go into it".

Dodd is also an author in his own right, having written several non-fiction books under his byline, such as The Reverend Guppy's Aquarium.

A long-term jazz aficionado, he plays piano with the Philip Dodd Quartet, which performs regularly at London's 606 Club.
