Jonathan Davis
Biography
Jonathan Davis is the American vocalist and frontman of Korn, the nu metal band he co-founded in Bakersfield in 1993. He drew notice for intense live shows and for a voice that moves between an angry tone and a high-pitched one, and his lyrics are known for being personal and passionate. With Richard Gibbs, he wrote and produced the score and soundtrack for Queen of the Damned (2002), his first work outside Korn. He formed the side project Jonathan Davis and the SFA in 2007 and released his first solo album, Black Labyrinth, in 2018. He has collaborated with artists in several genres, among them metal, rap, and electronic music, and he performs DJ sets under the name JDevil. A multi-instrumentalist, he has also played bagpipes on Korn songs and contributed music to video games and television, including the theme for The Twilight Zone.

A change of course
Davis led the band Sexart during the years he worked as an assistant coroner, and he co-founded Korn in Bakersfield in 1993 when Sexart and L.A.P.D. dissolved.
A change of course
Davis began DJing in 1987 while still in high school, spinning at school dances and parties in Bakersfield for Pacific West Sound before he joined Korn.
Getting ready for a role
For the bagpipe intro to "Shoots and Ladders," Davis played outside the studio and walked away from the mic. He passed the back door while the microphone did not move, so the player seems far off and fading.
Behind the camera
Davis came up with Pop Scars in 2000, a fighting game where famous musicians battled one another one-on-one. The project stalled in its early design stages after Davis shut it down in late 2004.
Behind the camera
New Line Television brought Davis on in 2002 to write and record music for UPN's The Twilight Zone, the television series hosted by Forest Whitaker.
