CHRIS CORNELL


Chris Cornell is best known today as the lead singer, song writer, and guitarist for the newly broken up Rock Band “Audioslave.”


Chris Cornell was born and raised in Seattle, Washington and attended Shorewood High School. Before becoming a successful musician, he worked at a seafood wholesaler and was a sous chef at a restaurant named Ray's Boathouse.
In 1984 Chris Cornell formed a band called “Soundgarden”.
Along with
Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam, Soundgarden became one of the most successful bands from Seattle's emerging grunge scene in the early 1990s.
In 1994 doctors discovered that Chris had severely strained his
vocal cords. Then in 1997 Soundgarden announced their disbanding. So in 1999 Chris Cornell started a solo career, which involved creating his solo Album “Euphoria Morning.” The album proved commercially unsuccessful although the album's single "Can't Change Me" was nominated for "Best Male Rock Vocal Performance" at the 2000 Grammy Awards.

Chris Cornell then helped form a new band in 2001 called “Audioslave.” Audioslave formed when
Zack de la Rocha left Rage Against the Machine and the remaining members were searching for another vocalist. Chris Cornell joined that band and they released their first album “Audioslave” in 2002. It became triple platinum in the US. Then in 2005 Audioslave released their second album “”. Then in 2007 they released their last album “Revelations”.

Chris Cornell announced leaving Audioslave in February 2007. He went on to release another solo album “Carry On,” and went on a world tour. This included performing at the “Linkin Park” concert in Auckland. He recently announced that his third solo album will be released in September of this year. He producer for this Album will be TIMBALAND. Timbaland has referred to the recording sessions as "The best work I've done in my career,"
