Eddie Vedder is an American musician who sings and writes lyrics for Pearl Jam. Born in Evanston, Illinois, he moved to San Diego County as a child and played in local bands before a 1990 demo tape brought him to Seattle and to Temple of the Dog. As Pearl Jam's lead singer, he has appeared on albums from Ten through Dark Matter, with Ten becoming one of the best-selling records of the 1990s. His solo work includes the Into the Wild soundtrack (2007), which earned him a Golden Globe for the song Guaranteed, plus Ukulele Songs (2011), Water on the Road (2011), and Earthling (2022).
