Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on September 08, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Ross Childress! May your day rock harder than your legendary guitar solos with Collective Soul. From crafting unforgettable riffs in hits like "The World I Know" and "Gel," you've given us timeless tunes that still echo through our playlists. Your strings have spoken louder than words, making air-guitarists everywhere feel like rock stars.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as the countless fans who've jammed out to your music over the years. Keep shredding those guitars and writing songs that make us sing along embarrassingly loud at traffic lights—because that's true success! Rock on, Ross!
