Roger Harry Daltrey, CBE (born March 1, 1944) is a popular music artist, best known as the founder and lead singer of the British rock band, The Who. In addition, he has enjoyed a successful solo music career, and has acted in a large number of film, theatre and television roles. Daltrey and his second wife, Heather, have two daughters, Rosie and Willow, and a son, Jamie.

Daltrey was born in the Shepherd's Bush area of London, the same working class neighbourhood that produced fellow Who members Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. He showed academic promise as a child in the English state school system, ranking at the top of his class on examinations that led to his enrolment at the Acton County Grammar School for boys. His parents, Harry and Irene, hoped he would eventually continue on to study at a university, but obeying the rules and learning from his teachers were not in the plans of the self-described "school rebel."
