Brian Eno, born Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno on May 15, 1948, is a multifaceted English musician, composer, record producer, and visual artist, renowned for his pioneering contributions to ambient music and his work across various genres. Eno began his career with the glam rock band Roxy Music, serving as their synthesizer player in the early 1970s. After departing the band, he embarked on a solo career that would cement his status as an innovator in experimental music.

Throughout the following decades, Eno's explorations in ambient soundscapes and intuitive music-making would yield an extensive discography, including influential solo albums such as "Music for Airports" and collaborative efforts with artists like David Byrne, John Cale, and Robert Fripp. Eno has also left an indelible mark as a producer, working on seminal albums like David Bowie's "Berlin Trilogy," U2's "The Joshua Tree," and Coldplay's "Viva la Vida." His more recent work includes a variety of multimedia installations and contributions to film and television scores, such as the Netflix series "Top Boy," illustrating his continued relevance and versatility in the contemporary music scene. Beyond his auditory creations, Eno's "77 Million Paintings" represents his continued interest in generative art, merging sound and visual experiences to create ever-evolving environments.
