About Colin Hay

A Scottish-born singer, songwriter, and actor, Colin Hay has led a widely varied career since breaking out in the early 1980s as the frontman for Australian new wave heroes Men at Work. Known for pop hits like "Down Under," "Who Can It Be Now?," and "Overkill," Hay's distinctive vocals and inventive songwriting helped Men at Work become international stars and staples of the early MTV era. Following the group's 1986 breakup, he relocated to Los Angeles where over the next three decades, he reinvented himself as a prolific solo artist and occasional character actor. Hay's solo career has encompassed a range of styles from strident rock to soulful Americana, though a unique strain of acoustic-driven folk-pop remains his sweet spot. He has also been a member of Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band and was the subject of the 2015 documentary film Colin Hay: Waiting for My Real Life.
