Paul Daniel "Ace" Frehley is an American musician best known as the original lead guitarist of the rock band Kiss. Born on April 27, 1951, in Bronx, New York, Frehley played with Kiss from its inception in 1973 until his departure in 1982. He took on the persona of the "Spaceman" or "Space Ace" when the band adopted costumes and theatrics.
After leaving Kiss, Frehley embarked on a successful solo career and later rejoined the band for a highly acclaimed reunion tour from 1996 to 2002. His latest album, Origins, Volume 2, was released in September of 2020.
Frehley's musical journey began at a young age in a musically inclined family. Inspired by guitar legends like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, he taught himself to play and became one of the most popular guitarists of the '70s. Known for his frenetic playing style and iconic Gibson Les Paul guitars that appeared to be on fire during live performances, Frehley influenced a generation of new players.

Ace Frehley, a 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, continues his reflections on a lifetime in music with “Origins, Vol. 2.” No stranger to cover versions throughout his musical history — having recorded, rebranded and repossessed such notable nuggets as “New York Groove,” “Do Ya” and “I Wanna Go Back” over the course of his eight previous studio efforts — this new collection presents a thoughtful and exciting selection of songs that inspired and helped shape the legendary guitarist. Foremost of importance to the original Spaceman is delivering an album his fans will enjoy, but one where every song also has a place in his life’s jukebox.

As the second volume focusing on his musical origins, Ace has also grown since “Origins, Vol. 1” was released in April 2016. That album hit #23 on the Billboard Top-200 charts becoming his 4th top-40 and second highest charting solo album — and there’s no questioning Ace’s productivity with this album being his fifth recorded work in a decade! Ace chuckles, “Since I had one covers album under my belt, the process of doing ‘Origins, Vol. 2’ was easier because I had put together a formula, picking guest stars and so-on.” The challenge for him was to put a suitable personal stamp on the material, and “Origins, Vol. 2” is replete with special touches that both honor and embellish the material.
