Born in Scotland, Hay moved with his family as a teenager to Australia, where he first came to international fame with seminal ?80s hitmakers Men at Work. While the band would reach the heights of stardom?they took home a GRAMMY Award for Best New Artist and sold more than 30 million records worldwide on the strength of #1 singles like ?Who Can It Be Now?? and ?Down Under??by 1985, they?d called it quits and gone their separate ways. Hay released his solo debut the following year and, over the course of the next three-and-a-half decades, went on to record twelve more critically acclaimed studio albums that would help establish him as one of his generation?s most hardworking and reliable craftsmen. Rolling Stone praised his ?witty, hooky pop? tunes, while NPR?s World Café lauded his ?distinctive voice,? and late-night hosts from David Letterman and Craig Ferguson to Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel have all welcomed him for performances.
