Over a long and illustrious career spanning almost 50 years, Tom Cochrane has achieved a level of success known to only few recording artists.

A folk-based singer/songwriter playing the coffeehouses of Toronto`s famed Yorkville scene in the early 70`s, Tom joined forces with Red Rider in 1978 as lead singer and main songwriter.

As Red Rider, and later as Tom Cochrane & Red Rider, they released nine albums with hits, "Lunatic Fringe", "Victory Day", "Human Race", "Boy Inside the Man", "White Hot" and chart topper, "Big League".

Tom launched his solo career with the anthemic "Life Is A Highway" from his breakthrough album Mad Mad World--which sold over 1 million copies in Canada and another 6 million worldwide, giving it certified Diamond Status in Canada and earning him a Grammy nomination in the US.

A Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee, Cochrane, both with Red Rider and a solo artist, has won 8 JUNO Awards. His legacy as a Canadian icon was cemented with a star on Canada`s Walk of Fame; and a 322 km section of his native Manitoba`s provincial highway named "Tom Cochrane`s Life Is A Highway".

Over his solo career and with Red Rider, he has released 21 albums and tours constantly, rooting his place in the hearts, minds, and ears of audiences with his engaging performances while playing his multitude of crowd-pleasing hits. He continues to tour with members of Red Rider and as a solo artist, captivating and charming people everywhere.

Tom has always been generous with his time and talent and continues to donate to various charities and causes in Canada and around the world. For his artistic and humanitarian contributions, he was invested as an Officer of the Order of Canada and is a recipient of the Order of Manitoba. He has numerous industry honors, including the 2013 Allan Waters Humanitarian Award and the Canadian Music Industry Humanitarian Award.
