Born in Derby, England on January 27, 1944, he studied art and developed a love for American blues music during his youth. After working as a social therapist and psychiatric nurse for several years, Coyne signed a record deal in 1969 and formed the band Siren. His solo career took off with the release of his powerful album "Marjory Razorblade" in 1973. Throughout his career, Coyne remained uncompromising in his musical style and gained recognition for his unique blend of blues and music hall comedy with a punk edge. He continued to create music, write books, exhibit paintings until his death on December 2nd, 2004.

In addition to his artistic pursuits, Coyne also acted on stage in German musicals. His sons Eugene and Robert joined him on recordings later in his career.
