    Early Life and Education

    Neil Finn was born on May 27, 1958 in Te Awamutu, New Zealand as the youngest of four children of Dick and Mary. He was raised in an environment of music, with the family frequently doing singalongs around the piano together. With his brother Tim, he performed at family gatherings, and became inspired to start playing guitar and piano. Growing up, Finn was also into sports such as tennis, rugby, and swimming. He was educated in Auckland at the Sacred Heart boarding school, and after that at Te Awamutu College. Throughout his years in school, Finn held music performances in hospitals and prisons.

    Career Beginnings

    Finn got his start in bands in 1976 when he formed After Hours with Geoff Chunn, Alan Brown, and Mark Hough. Ultimately, the group was short-lived.

    Split Enz

    Finn left After Hours in 1977 to join his brother Tim's band Split Enz. He became the replacement for original singer-songwriter Phil Judd, who had recently left the group in a fit of rage. Split Enz went on to achieve its greatest success in the early 80s with the albums "True Colours," "Waiata," and "Time and Tide." Notably, Finn wrote the band's first international hit single, "I Got You." He also wrote the hit Split Enz songs "One Step Ahead" and "History Never Repeats," and co-wrote "Dirty Creature." Finn's final original studio albums with the band were 1983's "Conflicting Emotions" and 1984's "See Ya 'Round." After that, Split Enz disbanded.

    Crowded House

    Following the breakup of Split Enz, Finn formed the band the Mullanes with Split Enz drummer Paul Hester and musicians Craig Hooper and Nick Seymour. Hooper soon left the group, which was renamed Crowded House. The band went on to become internationally successful, particularly with its hit 1987 single "Don't Dream it's Over," written by Finn, and its hit 1992 single "Weather With You," co-written by the Finn brothers. Crowded House ultimately released four studio albums between 1986 and 1993: a self-titled debut, "Temple of Low Men," "Woodface," and "Together Alone." The band broke up in 1996, and subsequently released the greatest hits album "Recurring Dream."

    Crowded House reunited in early 2007 with Finn, Nick Seymour, Mark Hart, and new drummer Matt Sherrod. Some months later, the band released a new album, "Time on Earth." Crowded House released its next album, "Intriguer," in 2010. After an 11-year hiatus, the band released "Dreamers Are Waiting" in 2021. The album features producer Mitchell Froom on keyboards, and Finn's sons Elroy and Liam on vocals and various instruments.
