Everlast was born Erik Francis Schrody on August 18, 1969, and before he went solo he was the frontman of the hip-hop crew House of Pain. His solo breakthrough, Whitey Ford Sings the Blues in 1998, was a curveball, rock and hip-hop blended into one rough, bluesy brew. "What It's Like" is the standout, a slow, strummed ballad with a weary, lived-in ache, and it earned him his first Grammy nomination while pushing the album to number 9 on the Billboard 200 and the song to number 13 on the Hot 100. "Ends" came off the same record.

Eat at Whitey's followed in 2000 with "Black Jesus" and "I Can't Move", and that same year he won a Grammy with Santana for "Put Your Lights On". From 2006 to 2012 he was part of the hip-hop supergroup La Coka Nostra, and in 2008 his theme for the TV series Saving Grace landed an Emmy nomination. He has made 8 solo albums mixing hip-hop, rock, blues, folk and Americana, the latest being Embers to Ashes, released on August 28, 2026.
