He was born in the vicinity of Chicago in Evanston. His parents were Edward Louis Severson, Jr, his father, and Karen Lee Vedder, his mother – from whom his stage name is derived. At the age of one, his parents divorced and his mother remarried an attorney, with Eddie Vedder being raised up thinking that his stepfather was his actual father. Regardless, his stepfather treated him well and his family was always a scene of much friendly ‘mayhem’ – his parents fostered seven different children and lived as a group home. During the 1970s, on his 12 th birthday, his mother gave him a guitar as a birthday present and he started playing the guitar and basketball to comfort the loss of three of his younger brothers who had moved to California.

Eddie Vedder mentions that at the start, the 1873 album, Quadrophenia, of the band ‘The Who’ was incredibly comforting for him. He studied at the San Dieguito High School side by side with a night job and lived alone – he had to leave his senior year because of pressure and the inability to balance school and work. His mother and brothers moved back to the Chicago area, but Vedder remained with his stepfather in California so he would not have to change high schools. He changed his name to Eddie Vedder at this stage and then moved to Chicago where he earned his GED while simultaneously working as a waiter – and even attended a community college.

He began recording various demo tapes in the 1980s as well as playing for various local San Diego bands such as Surf & Destroy, The Butts and even Indian Style, a band made up of Audioslave drummer, Brad Wilk. In 1988 he joined Bad Radio and in 1990 he joined Temple of the Dog as a backup vocalist – a period during he which he also wrote three famous Pearl Jam songs – ‘Alive’, ‘Once’ and ‘Footsteps’. Later the same year he was recruited by Pearl Jam creators as a vocalist as of which the band released the album Ten. It was this album that propelled both the band and Eddie Vedder to mainstream acclaim, an album that became the best selling alternative rock album of the 90s.

Rolling Stone has placed the album on its 500 greatest albums of all time whereas VH1 placed the single Jeremy at no. 11 on its 100 greatest songs of the 90s.
