Dave Grohl is a singer, songwriter, and musician. He founded the rock band Foo Fighters, of which he is the lead singer, guitarist, and lead songwriter. From 1990 to 1994, he was the drummer of the band Nirvana.

Dave Grohl was born on January 14, 1969, in Warren, Ohio. Raised in Springfield, Virginia, Grohl’s love for music began at an early age. After his parents divorced when he was seven, he lived primarily with his mother, Virginia Grohl, a public school teacher. She was instrumental in supporting his early musical ambitions, which started when Grohl taught himself to play guitar and drums. Throughout his youth, Grohl found solace in music, particularly punk rock, which would shape his future career.

Grohl's career exploded when he became the drummer for Nirvana in 1990. The release of "Nevermind" in 1991 catapulted the band to international fame, with Grohl’s drumming playing a key role in their iconic sound. After the tragic death of Nirvana’s frontman Kurt Cobain in 1994, Grohl was left reeling but soon found solace in creating his own music.

He went on to form Foo Fighters in 1995, originally as a solo project where he played every instrument on their debut album. The band's success was immediate, and Grohl quickly assembled a full band. Foo Fighters has since become one of the most enduring rock bands of the past few decades, releasing multiple hit albums and earning a loyal fanbase.

Throughout his career, Dave Grohl has been celebrated for his contributions to rock music. Foo Fighters have received numerous awards, including several Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Performance, and Best Hard Rock Performance. One of their most iconic albums, *Wasting Light*, won five Grammys in 2012, solidifying their place as rock legends.

In addition to his success with Foo Fighters, Grohl has collaborated with other musical acts, directed documentaries like *Sound City*, and worked on various side projects.

Dave Grohl married his wife Jordyn Blum in 2003, and they have three daughters: Violet, Harper, and Ophelia. Grohl often speaks about his deep love for his family, balancing the demands of touring and recording with being a devoted father.

Grohl made headlines in 2024 when he revealed that he welcomed a baby boy outside of his marriage. While Foo Fighters fans were taken by surprise, Grohl has embraced fatherhood once again, speaking openly about the new addition to his family.
