Eno first came to prominence as the keyboardist and sonic wizard of the 1970s art rock band Roxy Music. After leaving the group, Eno recorded a series of idiosyncratic rock albums, later turning to more abstract soundscapes on groundbreaking albums like Another Green World (1975) and Ambient 1/Music for Airports (1978). Since then, he has produced dozens of albums (many with similarly-minded collaborators such as Harold Budd and Robert Fripp) which have displayed his unique approach to music. He has also occasionally returned to the pop song format.

Eno has pursued several artistic ventures parallel to his music career, including visual art installations, a regular column in the newspaper The Observer and, with artist Peter Schmidt, Oblique Strategies, a deck of cards recommending various artistic strategies.
