Bio
Dave Grohl is the frontman, rhythm guitarist, and primary songwriter of Foo Fighters, a band he built from the ground up out of the ashes of Nirvana. Grohl famously retreated into the studio alone in 1994, laying down nearly every track himself for what would become the 1995 self-titled debut album. What began as a cathartic, anonymous solo project quickly mutated into one of the biggest stadium rock bands in history, with Grohl acting as its commander-in-chief for over thirty years. His driving rhythm guitar and vocals that can swing between gravelly, sultry, and primal screaming are the core of the band's music.
Outside of his band leadership, Grohl is as prolific a collaborator as he is a fan of other artists, lending himself to a long roster of projects. He famously stepped back behind the kit for Queens of the Stone Age's 2002 album Songs for the Deaf, formed the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures alongside Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, and launched the heavy metal side project Probot.
His creative output extends into filmmaking, having directed the acclaimed documentaries Sound City and the Sonic Highways and From Cradle To Stage docuseries (the latter with his late mother Virginia). He published his bestselling memoir The Storyteller in 2021.
