Pete Byrne

Pete Byrne is an LA-based British recording artist, and lead singer for the pop duo Naked Eyes, during the earlier years of the 1980s. They are well known for their cover of the Sandie Shaw hit "Always Something There to Remind Me." They achieved further hits also writing their own songs, including "Promises Promises" which also made it to the higher reaches of the singles chart.

Pete's music partner Rob Fisher later became a part of Climie Fisher alongside another singer, Simon Climie. Rob passed away in 1999, following surgery for bowel cancer. Both friends were formerly a part of the short-lived group Neon with Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith of Tears for Fears fame.

Byrne was born 9 June 1954 in Bath, Somerset, England.

He is also known for an electronica recording of The Rolling Stones' Paint It Black.
