Kip Winger is a hard rock guitarist and singer/songwriter who is known for his work with the glam metal outfit Winger as well as his own solo material. Hailing from a musical family based in Detroit, Michigan, he grew up playing in bands and studying everything from classical music to jazz. Winger joined Alice Cooper in 1985 and released two albums with the band before branching off to focus on his own band. Along with drummer Rod Morgenstein and keyboardist Paul Taylor, he formed Winger and released the group's eponymous debut album in 1988. Nearly a decade later, he would finally drop his first solo album, This Conversation Seems Like a Dream, in 1997, and he has since continued to release work on his own and with both Alice Cooper and Winger.
