Biography

Colin Hay, known for his charm and melodic gifts, transitioned from his role as the lead singer/songwriter for Australian new wave band Men at Work to a successful solo career. Despite an initial stumble with his 1987 debut album, Looking for Jack, Hay eventually found his stride by embracing folk-pop and establishing his own indie label, Lazy Eye. His enduring career was further boosted by his association with Men at Work hits in the early 2000s, and he continued to thrive through acting roles and collaborations, leading to the release of albums like Now and the Evermore in 2022.

Born in Scotland and raised in Australia, Hay found international fame with Men at Work's hit songs "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?" In the aftermath of the band's success, he embarked on a solo career in the U.S., releasing albums like Peaks & Valleys and Transcendental Highway in the '90s. Despite not reaching the same heights as his Men at Work days, Hay cultivated a dedicated following and gained renewed interest in his music through collaborations with actor Zach Braff. With a diverse discography and achievements in both music and acting, Hay's career has remained vibrant and influential over the years.
