Secret Codes & Battleships Darren Hayes Darren was the singer in Australian pop duo


Savage Garden. He was the writer and singer of the kind of evergreen worldwide smash hits that will be played as long as AC has a spot on the radio’s dial. They were neither fashionable nor criti- cally feted, but Savage Garden was an enormously popular operation. From the four albums that he has crafted so far—two with Savage Garden, two solo—Darren Hayes has sold more than 25 million records. He broke the record he himself set with Truly, Madly Deeply as most played record on adult contemporary U.S. radio with the further release of 1999’s “I Knew I Loved You.” There is not a country in the world that enjoys English speaking pop music in which he has not had a hit. Darren Hayes has dined with Madonna and duetted with Pavarotti. He is the third most popular Australian musical export of all time. Available now
