Chad Kroeger was born Chad Robert Turton on November 15, 1974, in Hanna, Canada. His father, Wendall, left the family when Chad was 2 years old, so he started using his mother's maiden name instead of Turton. Kroeger has a brother, Mike, who plays bass for Nickelback. Chad's mother, Debbie, gave him a guitar, and he learned how to play at age 13. The following year, he spent some time in juvenile hall after breaking into his junior high school and stealing money 11 times; in a 2012 interview with "Men's Health," Kroeger said that he stole the money to pay for an amp.

In the early 1990s, Chad Kroeger was in a grunge cover band, Village Idiot, with his brother, his cousin Brandon Kroeger, andRyan Peake; they went on to form Nickelback in 1995, but Brandon left the band in 1997. Chad has recorded nine albums with Nickelback, including "Curb" (1996), "Silver Side Up" (2001), and "All the Right Reasons" (2005), and hit songs "How You Remind Me" (2001) and "Photograph" (2005) are among several Nickelback singles that have reached #1 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart.
