Jacoby Shaddix is a prominent figure in the rock music scene, widely recognized as the lead vocalist and one of the founding members of the successful American rock band Papa Roach. Born Jacoby Dakota Shaddix on July 28, 1976, in Mariposa, California, he burst onto the music scene in the late 1990s with his band's raw energy and emotionally-charged lyrics. Papa Roach gained international fame with their triple-platinum album "Infest" in 2000, which included the hit single "Last Resort," a song that became an anthem for a troubled generation and solidified Shaddix's place in rock music.

Throughout his career, Shaddix has been known not only for his dynamic vocal range—from intense screams to melodic singing—but also for his charismatic stage presence and personal engagement with fans. In addition to his work with Papa Roach, he has collaborated with other artists, contributing his distinct voice to various tracks. This includes featuring on "White Room" as a guest artist and providing the evocative vocals on the track "Wolf Totem," a collaboration with The Hu that blends heavy rock with Mongolian throat singing for a truly unique sound. More recently, he's demonstrated his musical versatility with "Leave a Light On (Talk Away The Dark) [Instrumental]," showcasing his ability to create moods and narratives even in the absence of his signature vocal work. Shaddix's commitment to his craft and his ability to evolve artistically while remaining true to his roots continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
