About Kid Rock

Kid Rock (Robert James Ritchie, born January 17, 1971, in Romeo, Michigan) is one of American music’s most versatile performers, blending rock, country, hip-hop, blues, and Southern soul across a career spanning three decades. After emerging from Detroit’s hip-hop underground, he broke through with 1998’s Devil Without a Cause, which sold over 14 million copies on the strength of “Bawitdaba” and “Cowboy.” Subsequent albums traced an evolution from rap-rock to country-rock, producing crossover smashes like “Picture” (with Sheryl Crow), “All Summer Long,” and “Born Free.” Notable albums include Rock n Roll Jesus (2007), Rebel Soul (2012), Sweet Southern Sugar (2017), and Bad Reputation (2022). A self-taught multi-instrumentalist who plays every instrument in his band, Kid Rock has sold more than 27 million albums in the U.S. For official news, visit kidrock.com and follow him on Instagram (@kidrock).
