description: "Brian Timothy Finn is a New Zealand singer, songwriter, musician, and composer. He is best known as a founding member of Split Enz and for his work with his brother Neil, including contributions to Neil's band Crowded House. Finn founded Split Enz in 1972 with Phil Judd, and the two served as the band's co-lead singers and songwriters. Judd's 1977 departure initially left Finn as the sole lead singer and songwriter, though Judd's replacement, Finn's brother Neil, eventually joined Tim as co-lead singer and songwriter. Tim Finn wrote or co-wrote some of the band's best-known songs, including \"I See Red\", \"Dirty Creature\", \"I Hope I Never\" and \"Six Months in a Leaky Boat\". While still a member of Split Enz, he released his first solo album Escapade in 1983. A commercial success, the album also produced two hit singles with \"Fraction Too Much Friction\" and \"Made My Day\". Finn left Split Enz in early 1984, though he briefly returned for the band's farewell tour later that year."
