This week's Hitmaker is Ed Roland.
Renowned for his passionate vocals, Ed Roland is best known as the frontman and principal songwriter of platinum-selling rock band Collective Soul, with seven #1 hits under his belt, Roland stays busy.
Ed recently went on an interview saying how "December" was the only song that the band disagreed upon! Listen to his full explanation below:
Born during the rise of grunge and alternative rock, Collective Soul broke into mainstream popularity when they rose to international fame in 1993 with the rock anthem “Shine.”
The multi-platinum quintet has been making music for two decades since then and has a catalog of #1 hits including “December,” “The World I Know,” “Heavy” and “Run.” Collective Soul helped shape and define alternative rock with lots of guitars and attitude. The band released its tenth studio album BLOOD in 2019.
