Tom Keifer is a seasoned American vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter, best known for his tenure as the lead singer and driving force of the glam metal band Cinderella, which rose to prominence in the mid-1980s. Born on January 26, 1961, in Springfield, Pennsylvania, Keifer's gravelly voice and blues-infused rock approach helped define Cinderella's sound, setting them apart from other bands in the genre and leading to widespread success with hits like "Nobody's Fool," "Gypsy Road," and "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)."

Branching out as a solo artist, Tom Keifer released his debut album "The Way Life Goes" in 2013, showcasing his musical evolution and a blend of blues-rock influences. After enduring multiple vocal cord surgeries which almost ended his singing career, Keifer's resilience is embodied in his music. The release was warmly received by fans and critics alike and was followed up with a deluxe edition four years later, which included additional tracks and live performances. Subsequent to his solo debut, Keifer continued to craft his unique sound with "Rise" in 2019, an album that includes hard-hitting tracks like "Touching the Divine" and "The Death of Me," reaffirming his status as a signature voice in rock n' roll and a musician whose personal tribulations have only honed his artistic output.
