Eddie Rayner Biography


'Eddie Rayner was a relative latecomer to music. He joined his first band at age 19, and having had little formal musical training, found the creatively-free aspect of original music composition, performance and production to his liking. Which placed him in good stead amongst similar musically-unfettered groups such as 'Split Enz', 'Space Waltz' and 'Crowded House'.		Having already paid his dues in the legendary 'Stewart and the Belmonts', and having been a core member of the glam 'Space Waltz', Eddie was asked to join 'Split Enz' in 1974. His unique keyboard style became a trademark of the Enz sound and undoubtedly his musical aesthetic helped enshrine them as New Zealand’s most successful band.


		The Enz left NZ in 1975 for Australia, and they went on to record 10 studio albums, when Eddie's talents in arrangement and production came to the fore. He has since produced and remixed several albums for the Enz, including the acclaimed 'Rootin Tootin Luton Tapes', 'Frenzy', 'Conflicting Emotions', 'Corroboree', 'Extravangenza' and the live DVD 'One Out of the Bag'. more...
