Ed Droste Biography

Ed Droste is one of the most popular and richest Rock Singer who was born on October 22, 1978 in Massachusetts, Massachusetts, United States. American singer/song-writer who is an original member of the Brooklyn-based indie-rock band Grizzly Bear. He also played guitar and keyboards.

He covered Bjork‘s song “Possibly Maybe” with Owen Pallett.

Droste was born in Massachusetts, the son of Diana (née Forbes) and Bruce F. Droste. His maternal grandfather was conductor and musicologist Elliot Forbes. Through his mother’s Forbes line, he is related to singer China Forbes. He attended elementary school at Shady Hill School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where his mother is a music teacher, and high school at Concord Academy in Concord, Massachusetts. He attended Hampshire College for one year in 1999 before transferring to and graduating from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study in 2003.

Droste began composing and performing songs on a solo basis as Grizzly Bear, releasing the album Horn of Plenty in 2004, with some contributions from drummer Christopher Bear. The two then joined with Chris Taylor, and eventually Daniel Rossen, to form the current four-piece band. Droste has said of the gestation of the band, “Daniel [Rossen] and I are the principal songwriters, but we also have the most issues with being performers. I strongly reject the notion that I have to do stage kicks or be some sort of persona. I respect artists that have an act, a look, a shtick. That’s all fine and dandy, but with our songs, it would feel like the biggest farce. It took us a long time to get comfortable; the whole thing was four people growing into each other.”

He married his long-time boyfriend Chad McPhail in 2011.
