Seymour, Nick Biography
Nicholas More Seymour was born in Benalla, Victoria, Australia, on December 9, 1958. His father was a headmaster and his mother was a school teacher. Nick has three siblings: Mark, who is lead singer with the group Hunters & Collectors, Hilary and Helen, who is a music teacher. In their youth, the four siblings made performances together around Victoria, encouraged by their parents to develop their creativity. From an early age, Nick wanted to become an artist and after high school he enrolled at an Art School in Melbourne. He spent five years at the art school, developing his abilities as a painter. In his spare time, he taught himself to play bass guitar and began playing in local bands, such as Romantics and Glory Boys. He also got to work with setting for movies, like "The Leonski Incident".
In late 1984, he saw a TV interview with Neil Finn and Paul Hester of popular New Zealand group Split Enz, who were doing a farewell tour after 12 years together. Finn and Hester spoke about their plans for a new band and that they were looking for a bassist. Nick went to the Split Enz farewell party and spoke to a slightly over-refreshed Neil Finn and offered his services as a bass player. After an audition with Finn and Hester, Nick became the bassist of the new group, Crowded House (originally called Mullanes).
In 1989, Nick married an American woman, Brenda Bentleigh, in New Orleans, but after four years together the couple decided to part ways in 1993.
Apart from his bass duties with Crowded House, Nick has also done the artwork for all the Crowded House albums, and has also been involved in the making of the group's promo videos and their stage costumes.
