Answer: Kid Rock

Born Robert Ritchie on January 17, 1971, in Romeo, Michigan. He realized when he was a small boy that he wanted to be in the music industry, but just how he would accomplish this, he had no idea.

He tried to emulate his music idols Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams, Jr. He hired himself out as a disc jockey for parties, weddings, and local school dances. By the time he was sixteen, he gained recognition as the best disc jockey in his hometown.
