A vocalist who moved from New York choirs to fronting Journey and crafting his own songs.
For a quick sense of his sound, try 'Back In N.Y.C.' or 'If This Is The End'. They're both solid examples of the melodic rock lane he's been in for years.
He's one of those singers who shows up in unexpected places and makes them work. You can hear it in 'Back In N.Y.C.', which has that big, melodic rock feel he's known for. The fact that he went from metal bands to replacing Steve Perry in Journey says something about his range.
He started in New York choirs, then joined the metal band Talisman in the early 1980s. Later he worked with guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen and Neal Schon, and put out solo albums like 'Prism' and 'Damage Control'. In 1994 he became Journey's lead singer, which brought wider recognition.
