Since childhood, the boy was fond of rock music, hip-hop and electronic music. At the age of 14, he decides to try his hand at DJ and hip-hop culture, taking the pseudonym Kid Rock. Robert participates in clandestine parties in nearby towns. Later, his demos caught the eye of the record companies, and Ritchie signs a $ 100,000 deal with Jive Records.
In 1990, Kid Rock recorded his debut album, Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast, which was unsuccessful. American radio stations refused to air songs full of obscene lyrics. But Rock doesn't give up and acts as an opening act for Ice Cube and Too $ hort. Later he moved to Brooklyn, where he recorded the next two albums "The Polyfuze Method" (1993) and "Fire It Up!" (1994) at Continuum Records, which also failed.
Since then, Kid Rock is working hard to launch his next LP, Early Mornin 'Stoned Pimp (1996), on his own Top Dog label. The album first attracted the attention of listeners, and in 1998 Rock signed a contract with Atlantic Records to distribute the album "Devil Without a Cause". The album peaked at # 5 on the Billboard charts and transformed Kid Rock into a superstar. The insane mixture of rap, metal and country has found its listener. The action films Bawitdaba, Cowboy and the ballad Only God Knows Why became hits on radio and MTV. The album sold 11 million copies.

The following year, the musician starred in the movie "The Adventures of Joe Dirty", and recorded the album "History of Rock", which also becomes super popular. It includes songs previously recorded on the albums "The Polyfuze Method", "Fire it Up!", "Early Mornin 'Stoned Pimp". The only new song was "American Bad Ass". On November 16, 2000, Joe C, the famous dwarf member of the Kid Rock group, dies, and he grieves his death. The following year, Rock begins an affair with Pamela Anderson. This novel became very often discussed in the media and Rock and Pamela got on the covers of various tabloids.
In 2001 Kid Rock's next album Cocky was released. The singles were "Forever", "Lonely Road of Faith", "You Never Met a MotherFucker Quite Like Me" and "Picture". The album's country tendencies were especially evident in the song "Picture", recorded with Cheryl Crow. The song became a hit, and Rock is recognized in the world of country music. Kid Rock brought even more country influences to the album "Kid Rock" (2003). The cover hit was a cover of the song "Feel Like Makin 'Love" by Bad Company. December 31, 2003 Rock becomes the host of the show "Christmas with Kid Rock" broadcast on the music channel "VH1".
