Early Life
Colin Hay was born in Scotland on June 29, 1953, and moved to Australia at the age of fourteen. In 1978, he formed the band Men at Work, which played rock with elements of reggae. Their first album, titled "Business as Usual," reached number one on the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. To this day, no Australian artist or band has been able to replicate this success. In 1983, Men at Work received a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The band's main success came in the 1980s. Over time, the group's music moved from commercial radio to television screens, with their songs being featured in films and TV shows.
Musical Career
Colin Hay puts a lot of effort into finding his own path in music and, by the way, he greatly respects people who are not afraid to be different from everyone else. For example, he spent almost five years recording one of his latest albums, titled "Are You Looking At Me?" During these years, he was not so much concerned with sound or rhymes as he was trying to defend his own vision of his art against promoters. The result was excellent material, which Colin Hay dedicated to all the outsiders of this world. "Many people feel like outsiders in this world," says Colin Hay. "I believe that it is not a problem. I grew up in Scotland until I was 14, and then moved to Australia, where we moved to many places. And I had to learn to adapt to different people. Upon closer inspection, there is always more in common between different people than differences."
Other Endeavors
In addition to music, Colin Hay has other interests. He occasionally acts in films or TV series and provides voice-overs for animated characters. In charity work, he prefers to help people in need of organ transplants. Colin Hay is married to singer Cecilia Noel, who often sings backing vocals at his concerts.
