Hodgson was born in 1950 and grew up in Oxford, England in a wealthy middle-class family, and was also sent to Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. It is known he wrote some of his most popular songs like "Breakfast in America", "The Logical Song", and some of "Fool's Overture" at home with a harmonium he had bought from a neighbour when he was only 17 years old (this instrument is actually used in the background of "Breakfast in America", and prominently appears on "Two of Us" and his solo track "The Garden").
