- Bernard Fanning is a musician and singer-songwriter. He is best known as the lead singer and frontman of Australian alternative rock band Powderfinger since 1989. Born and raised in Toowong, Brisbane, Fanning was taught the piano by his mother at an early age. At the age of 15, while attending St. Joseph's College, Gregory Terrace, Fanning began writing music, and upon graduating from St. Joseph's, moved on to the University of Queensland, where he studied journalism for a short time. He would go on to drop out to pursue a music career, after meeting Ian Haug in an economics class. Fanning joined Haug, John Collins, and Steven Bishop, who had recently formed Powderfinger, and took the role of lead singer. Over the next 15 years, the band would release five studio albums, and achieve mainstream success in Australia. During Powderfinger's hiatus in 2005, Fanning begun his solo music career with the studio album Tea & Sympathy. Powderfinger then reunited and released a sixth studio album. While Powderfinger's style focuses on alternative rock, Fanning's solo music is generally described as a mixture of blues and acoustic folk. A multi-instrumentalist, Fanning plays guitar, piano, keyboards and harmonica, both when performing solo and also with Powderfinger. Often speaking out against Australian political figures, Fanning has donated much of his time to philanthropic causes. He is an advocate for Aboriginal affairs in Australia.

- Bernard Fanning - australijski muzyk, wokalista i autor tekstów; wokalista i lider rockowego zespołu Powderfinger od 1989. Dorastał w dzielnicy Brisbane, Toowong; w dzieciństwie został nauczony gry na pianinie przez swoją matkę. Jest absolwentem katolickiej szkoły St. Joseph's College, Gregory Terrace. W wieku 15 lat zaczął pisać pierwsze utwory. Po ukończeniu Joseph's College, studiował dziennikarstwo na University of Queensland, zrezygnował z nauki po roku, by zaczął karierę muzyczną (co doradził mu kolega z uczelni, studiujący ekonomię Ian Haug). Fanning dołączył do Hauga, Johna Collinsa i Stevena Bishopa, którzy założyli Powderfinger, oraz zajął miejsce wokalisty. W ciągu piętnastu lat działalności zespół wydał pięć albumów studyjnych i odniósł komercyjny sukces w Australii. W czasie zawieszenia działalności zespołu, Fanning wydał 31 października 2005 swój solowy album, Tea & Sympathy. Niebawem Powderfinger wznowił działalność i wydał szósty album. Podczas, gdy Powderfinger gra muzykę typowo alternatywną, solowa twórczość Fanninga jest opisywana jako połączenie blues rocka i folku. Jest multiinstrumentalistą - potrafi grać na gitarze, pianinie, harmonijce ustnej i perkusji. Nierzadko otwarcie krytykuje działalność australijskich polityków, wspiera fundacje i zbiórki charytatywne. Jest formalnym obrońcą rdzennych mieszkańców Australii, Aborygenów. Jego żoną od lutego 2007 jest hiszpanka Andrea Moreno, którą Fanning poznał podczas nagrań do swojego debiutanckiego albumu solowego, Tea & Sympathy.
