He helped give androgyny an international stage with the success of Culture Club during the 1980s. His music is often classified as blue-eyed soul, which is influenced by rhythm and blues and reggae. His 1990s and 2000s-era solo music has glam influences such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop. He also founded and was lead singer of Jesus Loves You during the period 1989–1992. Being involved in many activities (among them songwriting, DJing, writing books, designing clothes and photography), he has released fewer music recordings in the last decade. On 11 May 2009, Boy George was released from prison at HMP Edmunds Hill in Newmarket, Suffolk, four months into a fifteen-month sentence for the assault and false imprisonment of a male escort in his East London flat. He was tagged and placed on a curfew for the balance of the sentence.

- Autore di canzoni e icona culturale a tutto campo, giunto alla celebrità, negli anni ottanta, col suo primo gruppo, i Culture Club, George O'Dowd, oltre che come Boy George, ha inciso e prodotto, e continua tuttora a farlo, sotto diversi pseudonimi (Angela Dust) oppure celato dietro progetti collettivi (Jesus Loves You, Dubversive) o band solo virtualmente tali, di cui costituisce sempre il componente fondamentale, quando non addirittura l'unico (come nell'ultima trovata, che risponde al nome di The Twin). In tutti i casi, come è evidente a colpo d'occhio, si tratta di cosiddetti «nomi parlanti» (come era già con «Culture Club», variamente traducibile come "Club della cultura", "Club Cultura" o "Club culturale", o con i nomi provvisori inizialmente adottati dalla band - cfr. infra). «Angela Dust» è infatti un palese richiamo all'espressione inglese «angels dust», la "polvere degli angeli", o alla sua variante singolare «angel's dust», col genitivo sassone, la "polvere dell'angelo", in cui è chiaro il riferimento alle droghe pesanti in polvere, quali, per esempio, cocaina ed eroina. «Jesus Loves You» è addirittura una vera e propria frase di senso compiuto, che significa "Gesù ti ama" o "Gesù vi ama", e che non ha bisogno di ulteriori spiegazioni, se non del chiarimento che, nonostante la scelta del personaggio che rappresenta il Cattolicesimo per antonomasia, il progetto è per lo più basato sulla commistione di elementi religiosi di diversa provenienza, soprattutto orientale, legati in particolare al movimento Hare Krishna. «Dubversive» è invece l'aggregazione di più parole: il lemma «dub» (che, accanto al senso artistico-musicale in cui è per lo più usato, come in «dub version», oltre a suggerire l'idea di un ritmo altamente percussivo, veicola anche il concetto di "doppio") con la voce inglese che corrisponde all'italiano "sovversivo", suggerendo l'idea di una sorta di anarchia musicale, un essere completamente al di fuori del sistema artistico stabilito (e, non a caso, l'album relativo non verrà mai pubblicato, proprio per non scendere a compromessi di alcun tipo). «The Twin», infine - recentissimo progetto, in cui l'artista riprende il look estremo del performer Leigh Bowery - il cui significato collettivo è "i gemelli", ma che può essere tradotto anche al singolare, "il gemello", riprende il tema del doppio e si pone come richiamo ambivalente, da una parte al segno zodiacale del cantante, nato, appunto, sotto il segno dei Gemelli (che in inglese si dice, in realtà, «Gemini», dal latino, ma lo stesso George ha sottolineato il particolare), e dall'altra al look letteralmente rubato a Bowery, copiato fin nei minimi dettagli, dalle sue particolarissime mise che sfidano la gravità al trucco pesantissimo ed estremamente teatrale, già adottato da O'Dowd, nel musical da lui stesso composto, musicato ed interpretato, Taboo, basato sulla colorata vita nei club gay degli anni ottanta, in cui l'artista ha però deciso di interpretare, invece che se stesso (uno dei personaggi in scena), proprio il controverso ruolo di Leigh Bowery, a quanto pare fatto su misura per il suo continuo bisogno di sperimentazione, specie di valvola di sfogo creativo, che avrebbe poi dato vita, come lui stesso ha dichiarato, in rete, su MySpace, nella pagina da lui scritta, al più recente dei suoi progetti, appunto, The Twin.
