John Mellencamp, born in Seymour, Indiana on October 7, 1951, is a renowned American artist. Initially starting as a glam rocker, he embarked on a solo career with his first album Chestnut Street Incident. Unfortunately, the album failed to make an impact due to the record label's attempt to mold him into something he was not. It wasn't until the release of American Fool under the moniker John Cougar that Mellencamp achieved mainstream success with his hit song "Jack & Diane." Following this triumph, he released Uh-huh as John Cougar Mellencamp before eventually dropping the "Cougar" and going by his given name John Mellencamp.
In 1994, Mellencamp faced a setback when a heart attack prevented him from touring for his acclaimed album Dance Naked. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with Me'Shell Ndegeocello and India Arie among others. In recognition of his contributions to music, John Mellencamp was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 as a performer.
Some artists similar to John Mellencamp include Don Henley, The J. Geils Band, Eddie Money, Tom Petty, Huey Lewis & The News, Steve Miller Band and many more.

With a career spanning over 40 years, musician, artist and activist John Mellencamp is releasing his 25th full-length studio album, Orpheus Descending, via Republic Records. It was recorded at his own Belmont Mall Studio and produced by Mellencamp. The album is one of the most personal to date for the outspoken artist as he continues to show that he’s one of the best songwriters of his generation, focusing on social issues with standout songs "Hey God" and "The Eyes of Portland.”
