The Australian singer-songwriter who found global fame with Savage Garden before carving out his own path.
For the Savage Garden sound, "Truly Madly Deeply" is the touchstone. For his solo voice, try "Insatiable" or a later track like "Black Out The Sun."
Hayes gave pop music some of its most recognizable late-90s moments with Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply." His solo work, like the track "Insatiable," showed a different side, more personal and less bound to the duo's polished sound. He's one of those voices that connects a specific pop era to what came after.
He first surfaced in the mid-90s with Savage Garden, which put out two big albums. After the duo ended in 2001, he started releasing solo material, including the 2007 double album "This Delicate Thing We've Made." His music has kept appearing through the 2000s and 2010s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
