Seattle, WA, United States (1964 – present)

Chris Cornell (1964, Seattle, WA, United States) is an American singer/songwriter and guitarist.

In 1984 he formed the band Soundgarden with bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Throughout the late 80’s and 90’s, Soundgarden experienced major success as one of the four major grunge bands (along with Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam).

In 1990, Chris Cornell worked together with the (then) Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, and Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Mike McCready (who would later form Pearl Jam) in a project named Temple of the Dog. They wrote a 10 song album as tribute to Andrew Wood, the singer of Mother Love Bone who had died the year before of a heroin overdose.

In 1997 Soundgarden split amicably at the zenith of their popularity and Chris began a solo career. He released the sucessful album “Euphoria Morning”. Out of this album came the single “PlayCan’t Change Me”.

When Zack De La Rocha left Rage Against the Machine in 2001, Chris Cornell joined the instrumentalists of Rage Against the Machine to form the band Audioslave.

In 2006 Chris recorded a theme song for the James Bond 007 movie, “Casino Royale,” titled “PlayYou Know My Name”, which is used as the opening song.
