Information
Kid Rock (Robert James Ritchie) was born on January 17, 1971 in Romeo, MI. Kid got his nickname early on in his career. While rapping in parking lots and bars, fans would often comment, "look at that white kid rock." Kid liked the sound of it and thus his stage name was born. Kid Rock did not have a lot of early commercial success. His first album was 1989's Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast. The album was not widely popular but did maintain underground appeal, especially in Kid's home town of Detroit.
