Coverdale was the lead singer of Deep Purple. He wanted a solo career, and so he left the band in 1976. He has been actively associated with the music industry since 1973. Hard rock, blues-rock, heavy metal, and Glam metal are his genres.
As a solo singer, Coverdale’s first music album was titled “Whitesnake”. His 2nd album “Northwinds” received a better response. Inspired by the title of his first album, he formed a band which was called Whitesnake after his 2nd album was released. Initially, the band didn’t do that well. However, with the release of Coverdale’s 1987 album, Whitesnake became a huge hit. The album sold 8 times platinum since its release.
