Daughter of a part-time secretary and a telephone company worker, Hynde graduated from [[Firestone High School]], admitting "I was never too interested in high school. I mean, I never went to a dance, I never went out on a date, I never went steady. It became pretty awful for me. Except, of course, I could go see bands, and that was the kick. I used to go to [[Cleveland]] just to see any band. So I was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that I had never met. For me, knowing that [[Brian Jones]] was out there, and later that [[Iggy Pop]] was out there, made it kind of hard for me to get too interested in the guys that were around me. I had, uh, bigger things in mind."

'''Christine Ellen Hynde''' (born September 7, 1951) is an [[American-British]]<ref name=LADN>{{cite news| url= https://www.dailynews.com/2010/08/20/chrissie-hynde-improbable-romance-leads-to-new-band/|title=Chrissie Hynde: Improbable romance leads to new band|work=[[Los Angeles Daily News]]|date=August 20, 2010| access-date=July 19, 2023|quote=Hynde lived in the United States for 22 years and has now been in England for 37 years. “I am a British subject (she has dual citizenship), although I’m a big Yank and everything,” she said.}}</ref> singer, songwriter and musician. She is a founding member of the rock band [[the Pretenders]] and is the band's lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter; she and drummer [[Martin Chambers]] are the band's two remaining original members. Hynde is the only continuous member of the Pretenders, having appeared on every studio album released by the band.
Those "things" included Hynde's experimentation with [[hippie]] [[counterculture]], psychotropic drugs, eastern mysticism, [[vegetarianism]] and of course, joining or starting a band. Soon enough, Hynde joined a band called Sat. Sun. Mat. (which included [[Mark Mothersbaugh]] from [[Devo]]) while attending [[Kent State University]]'s Art School for three years. Hynde was on the campus during the infamous "[[Kent State shootings]]".
 
Hynde formed the Pretenders in [[Hereford]], England, in 1978, with [[Pete Farndon]], [[James Honeyman-Scott]] and Chambers. She has also recorded a number of songs with other musicians, including [[Frank Sinatra]], [[Cher]] and [[UB40]]. Hynde recorded her first solo album, ''[[Stockholm (Chrissie Hynde album)|Stockholm]]'', in 2014. Hynde was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] in 2005 as a member of the Pretenders.
Hynde also developed an interest in ''[[NME]]'' when she wasn't waitressing or working various other jobs to support herself, eventually saving enough money for the move from Ohio to [[London]] in 1973. With her art background, Hynde landed a job in an architectural firm but left after eight months. It was then that Hynde met rock journalist [[Nick Kent]] and landed a writing position at NME. However, it was a short gig among many as Hynde soon found herself working at [[Malcolm McLaren]] and [[Vivienne Westwood]]'s then-unknown clothing store, [[SEX (boutique)|SEX]], where Hynde was summarily fired for a fight with a customer in which Hynde was hit with a bell from the store. Hynde then made a fruitless attempt to start a band in [[France]] before her return to Cleveland in 1975.
 
==Early life==
Hardly discouraged, Hynde resurfaced in France in 1976 for another stab at forming a band. Finding her way to London in the midst of the [[Punk rock|punk]] movement, Hynde tried to start a group with [[Mick Jones (The Clash)|Mick Jones]] from [[The Clash]]. After the band failed to take off, Malcolm McLaren placed her as a guitarist in [[Masters of the Backside]]. But Chrissie was booted just as the band became [[The Damned]]. By that time, Mick Jones had invited Hynde to join his band on their initial riotous tour of Britain. Chrissie's recollection of that period: "It was great, but my heart was breaking. I wanted to be in a band so bad. And to go to all the gigs, to see it so close up, to be living in it and not to have a band was devastating to me. When I left, I said, 'Thanks a lot for lettin' me come along,' and I went back and went weeping on the underground throughout London. All the people I knew in town, they were all in bands. And there I was, like the real loser, you know? Really the loser."
Hynde was born in [[Akron, Ohio]], United States, the daughter of a part-time secretary and a [[Yellow Pages]] manager,<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Cohen |first=Scott |date=December 1986 |title=Hynde Sight |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FL-rqqrDxb8C&pg=PA46 |journal=[[Spin (magazine)|SPIN]] |volume=2 |issue=9 |pages=49–54 |via=Google Books}}</ref> and grew up in nearby [[Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio|Cuyahoga Falls]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Akron-born rock legend Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders comes 'back to Ohio' |url=https://fox8.com/news/entertainment/akron-born-rock-legend-chrissie-hynde-of-the-pretenders-comes-back-to-ohio/ |work=Fox8.com |author=Dennis, Justin |date=July 24, 2024 |access-date=July 24, 2024}}</ref> She graduated from [[Firestone High School]] in Akron but stated that "I was never too interested in high school.

==Early career==
But Hynde's luck soon changed. A demo tape of hers found its way to Dave Hill, owner of the label Real Records. Hill stepped in to manage her career, and began by paying off the back rent owed on her rehearsal room in Covent Garden. Hill also advised Chrissie to take her time and get a band together. In the spring of 1978, Hynde met bassist [[Pete Farndon]] through a mutual friend at a bar in [[Portobello Road]]. The meeting led to her rehearsal room (described by Farndon as "the scummiest basement I'd ever been in in my life") where they started playing "Groove Me", by [[King Floyd]], followed by two of Hynde's tunes: "Tequila" and "The Phone Call". Hynde and Farndon then hooked up with [[James Honeyman-Scott]] and [[Martin Chambers]], put the name [[Pretenders]] on the group, -- inspired by the song "The Great Pretender" -- recorded a demo tape (including "Precious", "The Wait" and a [[Kinks]]' cover, "Stop Your Sobbing"), handed it to Hynde's friend [[Nick Lowe]], produced a single ("Stop Your Sobbing/The Wait") and performed their first gigs ever in a club in [[Paris]]. The single was released in January 1979 and quickly hit the Top Thirty in UK. The band's precocious success was followed by their first gigs in Britain where the band earned wide critical acclaim. In the same spring (1978), The Pretenders recorded their [[Pretenders (album)|eponymous first album]] and hit the charts in UK and US with the song "[[Brass In Pocket]]".
Hynde became interested in [[hippie]] [[counterculture]], [[Eastern mysticism]], and [[vegetarianism]].<ref>{{cite news| url= http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/chrissie-hynde-and-the-pretenders-present-tense/story-e6frg8n6-1225906224759|title=Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders: Present tense| last=Cornwell|first=Jane|work=[[The Australian]]|date=August 21, 2010| access-date=March 16, 2015}}</ref> While attending [[Kent State University]]'s Art School for three years, she joined Sat.

The Pretenders lineup would change over the years as a result of numerous deaths and internal conflicts. However, Hynde endured, a solid anchor who became the band's eventual leader although Chambers later returned. Her guitar of choice is a [[Fender Telecaster]].
 
After living in Tucson,<ref name="guardian" /> she returned to France in 1975 at the invitation of Michael Fradji Memmi, bass player of ''[[the Frenchies]]'' ([[:fr:The Frenchies|fr]]), which she joined as the singer.<ref name=guardian/> She returned to London 1976 in the midst of the early [[Punk rock|punk]] movement.

[[Jon Moss]] (who would later be in [[Culture Club]]) and [[Tony James (musician)|Tony James]] of [[Generation X (band)|Generation X]] also auditioned.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/999-1.htm |title=999 – A history Part 1 | website= Punk77.co.uk |access-date=December 12, 2012 |archive-date=March 18, 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100318044801/http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/999-1.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Later, Hynde tried to start a group with [[Mick Jones (The Clash)|Mick Jones]] from [[the Clash]].<ref name=guardian/>
As the rare, successful female bandleader and style-setter in the early days of [[punk rock|punk]] and [[new wave music|new wave]], Hynde's impact was pervasive & substantial. Her edginess, punk sensibilities (she gave [[Sid Vicious]] his trademark lock necklace), musical vision, lyrical candor & truthfulness in interviews earned the respect of fans, musicians and critics alike, inspiring multitudes of young women to follow. Among many collaborations, Hynde's recordings with [[UB40]] (a [[cover version]] of "[[I Got You Babe]]") and [[Cheap Trick]] ("Walk Away") have also registered popular success.
 
After the lack of success with the band, Malcolm McLaren placed her as a guitarist in [[Masters of the Backside]] but she was asked to leave the group just as it became [[The Damned (band)|the Damned]].<ref name="guardian" /> After a brief spell in the band [[Johnny Moped]], Mick Jones invited Hynde to join his band on their initial tour of Britain.<ref name= guardian/> Hynde recollected of that period,
Chrissie Hynde had a daughter Natalie Ray in 1983 with [[Ray Davies]] of [[The Kinks]]. A [[cover version]] of the Davies song "Stop Your Sobbing" had been an early hit for the Pretenders, although Hynde met Davies several years later -- a meeting which bloomed into a long-term relationship. She then married musician [[Jim Kerr]] of the band [[Simple Minds]] in 1984, and had a daughter Yasmin with him in 1985. They divorced in 1990. She married artist [[Lucho Brieva]] in 1997 and lived with him in London until they separated in 2002.

Hynde also spent a short time with punk band [[The Moors Murderers (band)|the Moors Murderers]] in 1978. Named after [[The Moors Murderers|a pair of child-killers]], the band consisted of future [[Visage (band)|Visage]] front man [[Steve Strange]] on vocals, Vince Ely on drums, with [[Mark Ryan (guitarist)|Mark Ryan]] (a.k.a. the Kid) and Hynde on guitar. The band's name alone was enough to start controversy, and she soon distanced herself from the group, as noted in ''NME''. Hynde said, "I'm not in the group, I only rehearsed with them". She stated that "Steve Strange and [[Soo Catwoman]] had the idea for the group, and asked me to help them out on guitar, which I did, even though I was getting my own group together and still am".<ref>Letters page, ''NME'', January 21, 1978.</ref>
Chrissie Hynde did a duet with [[INXS]] on their album [[Full Moon, Dirty Hearts]] in 1993. Hynde appears on the title track of the album.
 
==The Pretenders==
Hynde sang the vocals on the [[Moodswings]] album ''[[Moodfood]]'' for track #9, "State of Independence Part II" which was played during the closing credits on the soundtrack of ''[[Single White Female]]'', the [[Bridget Fonda]] film.

In 1978, Hynde made a demo tape and gave it to Dave Hill, owner of the label Real Records.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://ultimateclassicrock.com/pretenders-debut-album/|title=35 Years Ago: The Pretenders Roar to Life with Their Self-Titled Debut| last= Lifton| first= Dave| work=[[Ultimate Classic Rock]] |date=January 19, 2015|access-date= March 16, 2015| archive-date= April 15, 2015| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150415055359/http://ultimateclassicrock.com/pretenders-debut-album/|url-status= live}}</ref> Hill stepped in to manage her career, and began by paying off the back rent owed on her rehearsal room in [[Covent Garden]], London.<ref name="Reckless"/> Hill also advised Hynde to take her time and get a band together.

Chrissie Hynde has been in the news in recent years as a high-profile [[animal rights]] activist. She is a supporter of [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals|PETA]] [http://www.kfccruelty.com/hynde.asp]
 
They recorded a demo tape (including "Precious", "The Wait" and a [[The Kinks|Kinks]] cover, "[[Stop Your Sobbing]]"), handed it to Hynde's friend [[Nick Lowe]], produced a single ("Stop Your Sobbing"/"The Wait") and performed their first gig at a club in Paris. The single was released in January 1979 and hit No. 33 in the UK. A second single "Kid" followed to similar success in July 1979. In November 1979, the Pretenders released their first signature single "[[Brass in Pocket]]" in the UK, which hit UK number 1 on January 19, 1980, the same date as their [[Pretenders (album)|eponymous first album]].<ref>{{cite news| url= http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/review/chrissie-hynde-the-real-pretender/story-fn9n8gph-1226936114228| title=Chrissie Hynde the real pretender |last=Shedden| first= Iain| work=[[The Australian]]|date=May 31, 2015|access-date=March 16, 2015| archive-date=June 8, 2014| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140608105959/http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/review/chrissie-hynde-the-real-pretender/story-fn9n8gph-1226936114228|url-status=live}}</ref> Both went on to similar chart success worldwide.
Hynde recorded a duet with Frank Sinatra on Sinatra's 1994 album [[Duets II]]. They performed the song "Luck be a Lady Tonight".

In 1995 Hynde made an acting appearance on the US television comedy ''[[Friends]]''.
The band released an [[Extended play|EP]] album, ''[[Extended Play (Pretenders EP)|Extended Play]]'', then ''[[Pretenders II]]'' later in the summer. "[[Talk of the Town (Pretenders song)|Talk of the Town]]" and "Message of Love" were on both. The Pretenders lineup would change repeatedly over the next decade. Honeyman-Scott died of a drug overdose on June 16, 1982, just days after Farndon had been fired from the band. Farndon also died of a drug overdose the following year.<ref name="guardian" /> After reforming with a caretaker line-up (Martin Chambers, Billy Bremner, Tony Butler, and Jeremy Allom) for their next single, "[[Back on the Chain Gang]]", the band settled down with [[Robbie McIntosh]] (guitar) and Malcolm Foster (bass) during the recording of their next album, the worldwide hit ''[[Learning to Crawl]]''.<ref name="guardian" /> Chambers left the band in the mid-1980s before the ''[[Get Close]]'' album was released in 1986.<ref name="guardian" /> The album included the hits "[[Don't Get Me Wrong]]" and "[[My Baby (Pretenders song)|My Baby]]".<ref>{{Cite web| url= https://www.rhino.com/article/the-one-after-the-big-one-pretenders-get-close|title=The One after the Big One: Pretenders, GET CLOSE |website= rhino.com|access-date=October 27, 2019| archive-date=October 27, 2019| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20191027065754/https://www.rhino.com/article/the-one-after-the-big-one-pretenders-get-close|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| url= https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/chrissie-hynde/|title=Chrissie Hynde|date=September 6, 2015 | publisher= CBS News|access-date= October 27, 2019| archive-date= October 27, 2019| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20191027065757/https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/chrissie-hynde/|url-status=live}}</ref> Amidst the ever-changing lineup, Hynde endured as the sole original Pretender until Chambers' return in the mid-1990s.
