Scott Stapp

Driven by unbridled passions and haunted by ghosts that defy definition, the great rockers keep getting better, stronger, more determined to get it right. Proof of Life is proof that SCOTT STAPP is among the great rockers. It's also proof that this time he's gotten it right.

"I made up my mind to face myself as a man and an artist. This record is my first no-holds-barred statement of exactly who I am," STAPP says. That statement is simultaneously simple and complex. The simple message is a straight-up confirmation of STAPP'S prowess as rock and roller of the first rank. He's alive and kicking, singing with greater grit than ever before. The self-portrait emerging from this extraordinary suite of songs is multi-layered and nuanced, the compelling drama of a man unflinchingly reexamining his past as he fights for his spiritual sanity.

The music—hard-edged, explosive, fiercely spontaneous and emotionally super-charged—frames the story of STAPP'S remarkable journey, beginning with his long relationship with CREED.

Looking back over the monumental achievement of Proof of Life, STAPP reflects, "In nearly thirty years as a recording artist, I've never been so hands-on with a project. I was involved with every hit of the drumstick, every chord on the keyboard and every note of every guitar solo. My artistic life depended on it. I had to present the incontrovertible proof of my life in a candid and honest way that revealed the real me. If I've been able to do so, the reason is all about recovering the strength of my faith—the faith that lets us see that we are not only protected, but nurtured and preserved by a love that knows no limits."
