Anthony Field, Murray Cook and Greg Page met while studying Early
Childhood Education at Sydney’s Macquarie University. The three began
writing children’s songs as one of their music projects. They enlisted
the assistance of Jeff Fatt, who played with Anthony in the popular
1980s band The Cockroaches, and The Wiggles were born. The Wiggles took
the finished tape to ABC Music, who released a self-titled album in
1991.
Now in their seventeenth year, The Wiggles continue to entertain more
and more children around the world. Their ability to relate to their
young audience and to create songs that are both entertaining and
educational has made The Wiggles incredibly popular with both children
and their parents. The Wiggles have been awarded with 17 Gold, 12
Platinum, 3 Double Platinum and 10 Multi Platinum Awards for sales of
over 17 million DVDs and 4 Million CDS worldwide.

Moran joined The Wiggles team in 1998 when illness sadly forced Greg to
hand over his yellow skivvie but the success of the group shows no sign
of ending.
