Brian “HEAD” Welch was born June 19, 1970. He grew up in Bakersfield, California. At
the tender age of 11, Head picked up a guitar and found his original calling. Barely out
of high school, he helped found the nu-metal band Korn. The band quickly became a
Grammy® award-winning, multi-Platinum selling band, and quickly rose to the top of the
music world. While with KoRn, Head received six grammy nominations, winning two,
while selling some 40 million records worldwide.
In early 2005, Head rocked the music world by announcing his resignation from Korn.
At the time, Head was committed to moving away from the crazy KoRn life to continue
to care for his daughter Jennea, as a single father. Additionally, Head committed his life
to Christ with the goal of touching people’s lives and giving back to those most
desperately in need. Only months from his Korn exodus, Head traveled to India to open
up his first Head Home, an orphanage that provided housing, food, and education to some
200 orphans in the most unreachable parts of India. Head also continued other
philanthropic efforts in other areas in the United States. |
