Who is Crispian Mills?

Crispian Mills is an English singer, songwriter, guitarist and film director. He is the son of actress Hayley Mills and director Roy Boulting, the grandson of John Mills and Mary Hayley Bell, nephew of Juliet Mills and director Jonathan Mills, and half-brother to Jason Lawson. He has been married to the model Joanne Mills since 1995. They currently reside in Bath with their son, Keshava.

Active since 1988, Mills is best known as the frontman of the psychedelic indie rock band Kula Shaker. Following the band's break-up in 1999, he remained with Columbia Records, and toured with a set of session musicians under the name Pi, although no official studio recordings were released in full. After the label rejected the Pi album, Mills disappeared for a short time, returning in 2002 as frontman and lead guitarist of back-to-basics rock outfit The Jeevas, who disbanded in 2005 to make way for a reformed Kula Shaker, who released their third album Strangefolk in 2007.
