Jonathan Davis, born January 18, 1971, is an American musician and singer best known as the frontman of the nu metal band Korn. Davis' distinctive voice and poignant, often introspective lyrics have helped Korn shape the sound of the nu metal genre and maintain a devoted fan base over the years. He embarked on his career in music in the early 1990s and has since grown into an icon within the metal community, admired for his unique vocal style that ranges from guttural growls to haunting melodies.

Apart from his work with Korn, Davis has expanded his artistic scope into solo projects, which showcase his breadth as a musician. "Black Labyrinth," released in 2018, marked his debut solo album and it dives into a blend of rock, electronic, and alternative sounds, allowing him to explore different facets of his musical identity. Forays into film music, such as his work on the "After The Dark (The Philosophers)" soundtrack and "Queen Of The Damned - The Score Album," further reveal his versatility. Promptly recognizable are his tracks like "What It Is," which even received a unique country version, and "Basic Needs," which was reimagined as a rock cut, reiterating his adaptability across music genres. Jonathan Davis continues to exert significant influence in the music industry, both with Korn and as a solo artist, winning fans across disparate music scenes with his brooding lyricism and innovative soundscapes.
