English musician, composer, record producer, singer and visual artist, Brian Eno has an estimated net worth of $60 million. Ambient pioneer, glam rocker, hit producer, multimedia artist, technological innovator, worldbeat proponent, and self-described non-musician — over the course of his long, prolific, and immensely influential career, Brian Eno was all of these things and much, much more.
In 1971, he rose to prominence as a member of the seminal glam band Roxy Music, playing the synthesizer and electronically treating the band’s sound. Before joining the band, Eno studied at art school, taking inspiration from minimalist painting. He had little musical education or playing experience when he joined. He left the group after the release of For Your Pleasure (1973), beginning his solo career with the art rock records Here Come the Warm Jets (1974) and Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) (1974).
Eno started the Obscure Records label in Britain in 1975 to release works by lesser-known composers. He pursued multimedia ventures in parallel to his music career, including art installations, a newspaper column in The Observer, and a regular column on society and innovation in Prospect magazine. He continues to collaborate with other musicians, produce records, release his own music, and write.
Brian Eno was born Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno on 15 May 1948 in Woodbridge, Suffolk, England.
