 Nicholas Edward Cave (born 22 September 1957) is a musician from the North East of Victoria, Australia, known primarily as a singer-songwriter but also for his work in poetry, literature, screenwriting, composition and acting.Cave's songs range from gentle love songs to angsty songs of pain to full-on murder ballads; he wrote a whole album of the lattermost. He's also known for deeply held, though unconventional, religious views; his songs and novels are rife with Christian symbolism, though he has denied in interviews that he believes in a personal or interventionist God, and his song "Into My Arms" even specifically opens with the lyric "I don't believe in an interventionist God".Cave started out in The Birthday Party, a rather weird Post-Punk band who would become a big influence on Goth Rock. In the middle of The '80s, he went on to found Nick Cave and the Cavemen, who fairly quickly re-named themselves to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. In later years, he would form a third band, Grinderman, which — very unusually for him — plays rather straightforward rock music.In addition to music, Cave is also the author of the novels And the Ass Saw the Angel and The Death of Bunny Munro, as well as the scripts for The Proposition and Lawless, for which he and bandmate Warren Ellis (not that Warren Ellis) also composed the soundtracks. He has additionally acted on occasion, most notably in Wings of Desire (where he appears As Himself in concert) and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (where he appears as a musician, playing the folk song "Jesse James"), which he and Ellis again scored. The film version of The Road was scored by him and Ellis.In 2023, Cave was part of the Australian delegation to the coronation of King Charles III, marking his gradual transformation from wild young man into a notable Australian artist.Compare Tom Waits, who has a somewhat similar style, and who is confirmed to be an influence on Cave.
