Kid Rock

It’s easy for this rocker to stand out in a crowd given his signature long, blonde locks and cowboy hat. Born Robert James Richie, Kid Rock is one of music’s foremost genre-bending artists. His style alternates between rock, heavy metal, country, and hip hop. A surprising mix, but one that he makes work successfully. He is also a self-taught musician, playing every instrument when it comes to his backing band and overseeing the production on his albums.

A true artist, if you ask us. Even at 50, he still remains a formidable force in the industry. He made his debut back in the nineties, releasing independent albums before signing with a big company. From being a local DJ who mostly did talent show gigs, he eventually performed for sold-out concerts with audiences in the thousands.  At present, he is a grandfather (a very cool one) and recently became engaged to his longtime partner, Audrey Berry.
