Crosby Loggins (born December 15, 1980) is an American singer/songwriter. He is the oldest son of Grammy winning artist Kenny Loggins and his first wife, Eva Ein. In 2008, he was the winner of MTV's Rock the Cradle.
Loggins grew up in Santa Barbara, California. He was constantly surrounded by his father's celebrity friends such as Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Michael McDonald and Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket. On Rock the Cradle, Kenny admitted that he had been touring during a significant amount of Loggins' childhood. Loggins was enthralled with the famous people he came to meet, but he stated that "Dad was just dad." He learned how to play the keyboard when he was seven and the guitar at age thirteen. From a young age, Loggins wanted to pursue music, because of his own love for it, rather than wanting to follow in his father's footsteps. He played in sporadic high school bands, but admitted that he was not yet ready for stardom. Loggins lived in Hawaii for some time after he was seen as just his father's son. He was still very interested in music, and after working in construction for a few years, Loggins decided to study at a conservatory.
Loggins got together with some of his friends in California to form a band called Crosby Loggins and the Leadbirds, but this was difficult for some to pronounce. Crosby Loggins and the Namedroppers was their next name, after which they settled for a new name, Crosby Loggins and the Light. Their debut album, We All Go Home was released on September 25, 2007 and was placed under the pop genre. They have played over 100 shows in both the United States and Europe. Crosby co-wrote 10 of the 12 songs on the album, and was the sole writer of the song, "We All Go Home".
Crosby was offered to appear on the MTV reality show Rock the Cradle in the beginning of 2008, which tried to determine which musically successful parents had the most talented children. Crosby rejected MTV's offer three times before agreeing to take part in the show. He was said to be "apprehensive" about it.
