Eddie Rayner

Real Name:
Anthony Edward Rayner
Profile:
Born 1952 in Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand.

Probably most well known for the 10 years he played keyboards, composed and produced for Split Enz. After Split Enz split up in 1984 he has worked with artists such as Tim Finn, Paul McCartney and Crowded House.

In the 90s he released a solo album and collaborated with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and numerous other famous New Zealand musicians to release 'EnzSo' and 'EnzSo 2'. He released a second solo album in 2002.

He was also a member of several other bands including "The Makers" who release two albums in the 90s and "Space Waltz" in the 70s, two members of which reformed to release an album in 2004.
