Andrew James Stockdale (born 20 July 1976) is an Australian rock musician, singer and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist, lead guitarist and only mainstay member of the rock band Wolfmother, which formed in 2000. In 2007, alongside his Wolfmother bandmates, he won ‘Songwriter of the Year’ at the APRA Awards. Aside from his work with Wolfmother, Stockdale was featured on the 2010 single “By the Sword” by Slash.
Andrew James Stockdale was born on 20 July 1976. Stockdale was raised in Ashgrove, Brisbane and educated at Ashgrove State School, Wimbledon Middle School, The Gap State High School and Kelvin Grove State College. He briefly lived in Wimbledon Village, London as a child.
Stockdale’s influences are most commonly cited among late-sixties and early-seventies hard rock and heavy metal guitarists. Vocally compared to a “cross between Robert Plant and Ozzy Osbourne” by Allmusic, his guitar antics and stage persona are commonly traced to Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, while his style can often be compared to progressive rockers like Pink Floyd.
