Kurt Vile Biography

Kurt Vile is one of the most popular and richest Rock Singer who was born on January 3, 1980 in Landsdowne, Pennsylvania, United States.

In 2015, he released his 6th studio album since 2008, b’lieve i’m goin down…, which peaked at #40 on the Billboard 200 chart.

He has stated a few of his largest musical influences are Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Neil Young, amongst others.

While working on his home recordings, Vile worked as a forklift driver, from 2000 to 2002. Regarding this time in his life, Vile noted “It was a really fast-paced job, unloading trucks. Though music was my passion, I had a long way to go then and a lot to learn. I got depressed so many times by my blue- collar life, and self-conscious about the fact that I didn’t go to college. I was always working super low-end jobs, being the complete opposite of what I wanted to be. But I just fell into it, and I was also sorta shy. It was definitely a pretty rough time.”

In 2003, after staying in Boston for two years, Vile moved back to Philadelphia, and began collaborating with musician and songwriter Adam Granduciel. The duo subsequently formed the indie rock band The War on Drugs in 2005. Regarding his friendship with Granduciel, Vile noted, “We’re essentially best friends. He was backing me up in my band when he started working on his own music, so I thought I’d return the favor.” Granduciel and Vile released their debut studio album, Wagonwheel Blues, in 2008 and embarked on a tour in support of its release.

He was born and raised in Landsdowne, Pennsylvania.
