Scott Stapp, born Anthony Scott Flippen in 1973, is best known as the voice of Creed, that deep, cavernous baritone that sounded like it was preaching from a mountaintop. In 2005 he struck out under his own name with The Great Divide, and the title track keeps the formula intact: towering, earnest hard rock with a chorus built to fill arenas.
He had the songwriting credentials to back it up. With Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti he won the Grammy for Best Rock Song in 2001 for writing "With Arms Wide Open", and he has a pile of RIAA certifications to his name. He has gone on to front Art of Anarchy and has released four solo albums in all.
