Nick Cave is an Australian musician, singer, songwriter, actor, and author. He was born in Warracknabeal, a small country town in Victoria, on September 22, 1957. His father was a teacher and his mother was a librarian. He has four brothers and sisters. Cave was educated at Warracknabeal Primary School and Wesley College, Melbourne.
He began his musical career in the 1970s, playing in various punk and post-punk bands. In the 1980s, he formed the band The Birthday Party, which gained a cult following. The band broke up in 1983, and Cave embarked on a solo career. He has released 17 studio albums, including The Boatman’s Call (1997), No More Shall We Part (2001), and Push the Sky Away (2013).
He has also written two novels, And the Ass Saw the Angel (1989) and The Death of Bunny Munro (2009). Cave has been married twice and has four children.

Quotes
| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [on working with Warren Ellis of 'The Bad Seeds'] I think I bring out something in Warren that he doesn't get on his own, and the same for me. I know that because of the difficulty that has always been for me to write songs. The process is very lonely. It was similar for music because I could never really tell, playing the chords on the piano, if the song was going to be great or just dead in the water when I showed it to the band. Now I have a kind of collaborator. It's just made the process so much more enjoyable and fruitful. |
| 2 | When I finish one thing, there is a pressing urge to do the next. At the moment it's threatening to cause a bit of disturbance. If you don't get your bag off the carousel in time, all the other bags start piling up behind. |
| 3 | I am not interested in anything that doesn't have a genuine heart to it. You've got to have soul in the hole. If that isn't there, I don't see the point. |
| 4 | There's only a certain amount of songs you can write about pussy, murder, and God. I still have a few left in me. |
| 5 | It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say. |
| 6 | No one will ever be able to read a book by me, or see me in a film, or read about me robbing a bank without seeing me first as a rock singer. |
| 7 | I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places. |
