Former Live Frontman Feels Reborn With New Solo CD

Live was one of the most popular rock bands of the last decade selling 20 million albums. Lead singer Ed Kowalczyk has moved on, however, and reunited with his Christian faith. After growing up Catholic, Kowalczyk experimented with Buddhism and has now come full circle recording songs with Christian overtones as a solo artist with former “American Idol” rocker and Christian Chris Daughtry.

Ed Kowalczyk spoke about his faith in recent interview with CNN's Belief blog: "I went through a whole seeker's life," he said.

The 38-year-old will soon be touring to promote his debut solo album "Alive," out July 6, and says fans will see a "rekindled Ed" and one at peace as a Christian:

"I definitely feel the presence and continue to feel the presence of a higher power that I'm connected to in faith," he said. "That's God."
