==Biography==
Hay was born in [[Faizabad]], [[India]] to a [[Dutch Jewish]]<ref>His grandmother, Vrouwtje Sluijter née Polak, and his uncle, Marcus Sluijter, were murdered in the [[Holocaust]].</ref> mother, Sofia Maria née Sluijter (1922-2004, born in [[Makassar]]), and a [[Scottish people|Scottish]] commissioned officer, Philip Aubrey Hay (1923-1980). He moved to the [[Netherlands]] at the age of eight to live with his mother. He lived in [[Amsterdam]] and later in [[The Hague]], attending an English boarding school.

After graduating from [[secondary school]], he took courses at the [[Royal Academy of Art, The Hague]]. In the summer of 1967, he joined the Golden Earrings, as they were then called, replacing Frans Krassenburg. Hay created the [[album cover|cover]] art for some of [[Golden Earring's album]]s.

He has also made three [[solo (music)|solo]] albums. ''Only Parrots, Frogs and Angels'' (1972) and ''Victory of Bad Taste'' (1987) both met with little success. ''The Big Band Theory'' (2008) is available as an online stream.

In 1994, he sang lead vocals and played [[alto flute]] on the [[Ayreon]] song "[[Sail Away to Avalon]]," the single from the latter's debut [[album]], ''[[The Final Experiment]]''.

In 2001, Hay left The Hague and moved back to Amsterdam, although he now divides his time between the Netherlands and [[Curaçao]] where he hosts a radio-show. During the 2000s Hay provided the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] voice of [[Rock Zilla]], in the [[Gene Simmons]]' cartoon series ''[[My Dad The Rock Star]]'' and appeared in a commercial for prescription sunglasses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.framesdirect.com/celebrity-eyewear-sightings-october-2008/|title=FramesDirect.com Blog|website=FramesDirect.com}}</ref>

In 2016 Hay released an album with side-project Flying V Formation, and his biography.

In 2019 Hay released an album with musician [[JB Meijers]] ([[The Common Linnets]]); ''For You Baby'' contains Latin-flavoured cover-versions including ''[[Blue Bayou]]'', a duet with [[Danny Vera (singer)|Danny Vera]].
