Creed is vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti, bass player Brian Marshall(former), and drummer Scott Phillips. In the early 1990's, while Scott was studying to be a lawyer at Florida State University, he met up with Mark Tremonti and later dropped out of school to pursue his musical interests.

Creed dominated the late '90s commercial rock scene, selling more than 20 million albums while blending uplifting melodies with an edgy lyrical perspective.
