Jonathan Houseman Davis (born
January 18,
1971) is the vocalist for the multiplatinum
Nu Metal band,
Korn. He was born and raised in
Bakersfield, California, where he lived with his father and step-mother.As well as being Korn's lead singer, he has also played drums and bagpipes. Davis writes songs on guitar and other various instruments, such as
drums and
bagpipes.Davis was the last member to join the band.
James 'Munky' Shaffer and
Brian 'Head' Welch discovered him in a bar, initially intending to only stay for a few minutes. Upon seeing Davis performing with his then-band
Sexart, however, they were compelled to stay for the whole set, and as soon as the set was over Brian and James approached Davis with an offer to join their then band L.A.P.D.. At first he didn't accept the offer, but upon consulting a psychic, he agreed, and Korn was born. In early years, he was known for wearing a variety of normal and customized
Adidas tracksuits onstage, which became a kind of "trademark" for all Korn fans.
