Francis Coyote Shivers was born on September 24, 1965 in Toronto, Canada. He produced the first single by the band Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. The b-side to that single, "Having an Average Weekend", became the theme to the television show The Kids in the Hall. Shivers went on to produce the band's next two albums.

Shivers also played guitar in the instrumental rock band Sharkskin, which released three EPs and a greatest hits compilation. He then moved to Los Angeles, California with record producer Daniel Lanois, who later would produce the Shivers song "Sugarhigh" for the Empire Records soundtrack.

Shivers then moved to Amsterdam, where he lived on a boat in the canals until returning to New York City to play guitar for The Conspiracy (a band notable for being the first non-Soviet band signed to the Soviet state-run record label Melodiya, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall).

In New York City, Shivers also began acting, appearing in a bit part in Johnny Mnemonic with Keanu Reeves and co-starring in Empire Records with Renée Zellweger and Liv Tyler. He also made a cameo appearance in Smut. Shivers continued playing music in New York City, recruiting a back-up band to create and record his first solo album on Mutiny Records, the self-titled Coyote Shivers. He worked with Billy Ficca (Richard Hell, Television) and Jack Pedler on drums, and Dagon James on bass.

After a stint as the opening act for KISS on their re-union tour, he began writing songs for a second album, releasing limited edition CD singles and the 5-song CD 1/2 A Rock & Roll Record. He has recently finished starring in Down And Out With The Dolls directed by Kurt Voss (also starring Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead and Inger Lorre of the Nymphs), and also starred in "Girl In 3D" directed by Luis Aira. Shivers has also begun a string of cameo appearances in films playing "himself" and released a double CD entitled "Coyote Shivers Gives It To Ya. Twice."

Began dating Pauley Perrette in 1998, and they married in 2000. Coyote filed for divorce, and it was granted in 2006.
