This site was created by me ashley lacy and korn girl for Mr. Jonathan Houseman Davis because he's so fucking awesome.Jon was born January 18, 1971 in Bakersfield, C.A. He started drumming at the age of 5 and by the time he was in high school he had taken up more instruments including the piano and bagpipes. Jonathan's parents had divorced when he was only three and by the time he was 12 his father remarried. Jonathan did not get along with his stepmother, to say the least, and his troubles with her eventually resulted in the song "Kill You":Growing up, he often resented his father for not being around. His father was often on the road and busy with his work, and Jonathan felt he was mistreating him, as well as the whole family. When his father was around, their conversations didn't usually go further than the subject of girls. Jonathan represented his father as the abuser in the song "Daddy". They both get along fairly well now and Jonathan has a "newfound respect" for his father since he is a dad.When Jonathan was young, someone outside the family was abusing him that resulted in, among other things, the song "Daddy".He was always involved in music, whether playing, listening or making it in an early band, Sex Art. In Highland High School, the high school he attended, he listened to new wave music like Duran Duran. He wore make up eyeliner to mimic his pop star idols. His classmates didn't understand or care to understand so he was made fun of, being called 'gay', 'faget' and 'queer', hence the song "Faget", his nickname HIV (pronounced Hiv, one word), and a tattoo of HIV on his left arm.In the song "Pretty", Jonathan sings about one experience working as a coroner's assistant. "Pretty" is about a young victim of incest. At first, he says, he was calm and did his job, but it later bothered him so much his dreams revolved around her. Dreams about dead bodies haunted Jonathan after working in such an environment, and he suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In many of his songs he expresses his deepest feelings, which makes Jonathan's lyrics so relatable to kids around the world. He sings about real emotions that he actually feels and so many kids feel the same about so many topics.Jonathan was in a band called Sex Art, who was featured on "Cultivation 92", a compilation CD of local bands from Southern California. Sex Art was made up of Jonathan Davis, Ty Elam of Videodrone and Ryan Shuck of Orgy, as well as others who later formed Juice. Sex Art's style was different than that of KoRn, but none the less it was rock. One night at a small bar, Brian "Head" Welch and James "Munky" Schaffer were about to leave when they saw Sex Art come on. At first Head and Munky didn't recognize Davis, although they were both very impressed with his music. The next day Jonathan received a phone call asking him to come and audition for their band, Creep that had all the members of KoRn today except for Jonathan.When first asked, Jonathan was skeptical. He went to an astrologer and she told him that it would be a good idea for him to at least try out and he was being stupid if he didn't. If the band didn't like him, it wasn't meant to be. Jonathan took heed to the advice and attended a try-out for the band. Creep played a song and Jonathan had to make up lyrics and sing whatever he felt was right. The band was impressed, but Jonathan still felt loyalty to his band, Sex Art. He finally decided it was a good idea to join Creep, (later, KoRn) and within a few short months the band was playing together.In 1995 another Davis was born to Renee and Jonathan. Nathan Houseman Davis, his middle name after Jonathan. He was expecting a girl, but he was happy to have a boy. He can be heard on A.D.I.D.A.S. providing backing vocals of sorts. Then in 1998, Jonathan married his girlfriend of 7 years, Renee. Their wedding was done up in old time with fairies and knights in armor. After two years of marriage, Renee and Jonathan divorced.Jonathan Davis' lyrics are something for people to talk about. From the reality bitten "Daddy" to the old school style bagging on "All in the Family" with Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, Jonathan's lyrics have it all, although the only mentioning of happiness is that it's all he wants; "All I want in life is to be happy". He's given to his fans in a way most artists never would; he's given us his dark secrets. He's shown us how to cope, when to forgive, and when to fight back with a vengeance. For many he's like a second parent to those whose real parents don't care. His lyrics are a way to vent and to feel. KoRn started as "everybody's band", touring intensely and letting kids get to know Jonathan personally with his lyrics. KoRn fans feel a bond with Jonathan that will not be broken by bandwagon fans or others dissing him or the band.
JON IS GOD
