Bio : Everlast

You can call him Everlast, Whitey Ford or even Erik Francis Schrody, but by any name, this singer-songwriter-rap legend’s remarkable music career has seen him reinvent himself several times over. From his first solo album, Forever Everlasting, under the auspices of Ice-T’s Rhyme Syndicate when he was barely out of his teens, to the “Jump Around” success with House of Pain, the genre-bending multi-platinum Whitey Ford Sings the Blues and his GRAMMY-winning contribution to Carlos Santana’s Supernatural album (“Put Your Lights On”), plus an Emmy nomination for the Saving Grace theme, Everlast has forged a groundbreaking merger of hip-hop, rock, folk, funk and R&B - influencing everyone from Yelawolf to Jelly Roll and beyond, even if he’s too modest to say it himself.
