Robert Pollard is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on October 31, 1957 in Dayton, Ohio, United States.

After graduating from high school in 1975, Pollard bought a guitar with his graduation money. In college, he began singing in rock bands. Although throwing a no-hitter in college, he eventually abandoned athletics realizing that he wasn’t quick enough to be a professional and that his character was too independent to be obedient to the strict athletic program. “I was sick of people snapping their fingers and expecting me to move.” When he heard the news, Pollard’s father withdrew his financial support, forcing his son to get a job washing dishes. Towards the end of his senior year at Wright State University, Pollard married Kim Dowler, a home-town girl he had been dating for seven years. Dowler did not go to college herself, but started working right out of high school.

To finance the band’s early recordings, Pollard, his brother, and their manager obtained a loan from the Dayton Public Schools credit union. Between 1986 and 1992, they released six records in this way, recording, pressing and distributing them at their own expense. These records got very little response, and although the pressings ran only to between 300 and 1,000 copies of each, the producers were left with many copies on their hands. In 1992, bowing to the lack of support from family and friends, and to the pressure of unpaid debt, Pollard broke up Guided By Voices after releasing Propeller, which he felt was their best album to date. He then committed to teaching school full-time.
