The rock singer, best known as the front man for the alternative rock band Papa Roach, rose to fame with their breakout hit “Last Resort.” The band’s album Infest played a major role in launching them into global stardom during the early 2000s, and the rock singer became a recognizable face in the music scene. Before all the spotlight, though, life looked much different— he worked hard as a dishwasher and later as a janitor at a hospital, long before anyone knew his name. It wasn’t until 1999 that the rock singer began taking music seriously, dedicating himself fully to his passion. On a personal note, the rock singer married Kelly Shaddix back in 1997, and together they’ve built a strong family, raising three sons over the years. Through ups and downs, the rock singer has remained a central figure in modern rock, shaping the sound of a generation.
He was the main host of the MTV show Scarred, where he became quite well-known for his bold commentary. One moment that really stood out—and caused quite a stir—was when he brought up the infamous riot at Ozzfest in 2000. His mention of the incident didn’t sit well with everyone, especially Sharon Osbourne, who was clearly upset by his remarks. As the host, he wasn’t afraid to dive into controversial topics, and that particular reference only added to his reputation as someone unafraid to speak his mind on Scarred. Over time, he built a name for himself through moments like these, balancing edgy content with a unique on-screen presence.
