About Dee Snider
Artist Biography
One of heavy metal's most powerful and distinctive voices, Dee Snider ascended to hard rock royalty in the early '80s as the lead singer for New Jersey-based glam-metallers Twisted Sister. A charismatic and outspoken frontman -- in 1985, alongside John Denver and Frank Zappa, he testified against censorship in regard to the Tipper Gore-led PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) -- Snider and company topped the charts in 1984 with the all-purpose us-against-the-world anthems "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock." After the 1987 dissolution of the group, he embarked on a series of solo and group projects, as well as acting and screenwriting gigs, that kept him busy well into 2010s. In 2021 he issued his Billboard-charting fifth solo effort, Leave a Scar.
