Jonathan Davis’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Jonathan Davis net worth: Jonathan Davis is an American musician who has a net worth of $50 million. Jonathan Davis acquired his net worth as the frontman and lead vocalist for the heavy metal band Korn. The band has released nine studio albums. Born Jonathan Howsmon Davis on January 18, 1971, in Bakersfield, California, he made a name for himself in the world of music as the frontman and lead vocalist for the nu metal band Korn. Davis started performing as a frontman with the band Sexart in 1989 through early 1993. Then, he left Sexart to join heavy metal band Korn (stylized as KoЯn). Soon after they released their demo album, Neidermayer’s Mind (1993), the group went on to release their self-titled debut album in 1994, which was followed by Life Is Peachy in 1996. It was Follow the Leader (1998) and Issues (1999), which brought them international fame and mainstream success. While Korn kept their status of a highly popular metal band afloat with more releases, Davis got involved in other side projects, which only added to his individual realization as a musician. In 2002, he worked together with Richard Gibbs on the composition of the musical score for the feature film adaptation of Queen of the Damned, released later that year. He also performed six singles for the movie’s soundtrack, as well as a cover of Neil Diamond’s Love on the Rocks for the movie Wonderland (2003) and composed the theme song for the 2002 revival of the smash-hit TV movie The Twilight Zone. Next, he embarked on an acoustic solo tour called Alone I Play in November, 2007. The tour, entirely produced by Richard Gibbs, included songs from the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, cover songs, as well as both rarely-performed and some of the most popular Korn songs. He could be also seen playing a solo set at the 2008 Download Festival at Donington Park. What’s more, Davis is a well-established electronic dance music producer and DJ known as JDevil.
