Brian Welch Biography

Brian Welch is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on June 19, 1970 in Torrance, California, United States. Guitarist for the heavy metal band Korn and for Love and Death, his side project. He also has released albums since he became a born-again Christian, like Save Me From Myself.

He and James Munky Shaffer were both in Korn.

Korn formed after the group L.A.P.D. broke up, due to singer Richard Morrill’s drug addiction. Musicians Reginald Arvizu, James Shaffer, and David Silveria wanted to continue, and they hired Welch to play guitar in their new band named “Creep”. In early 1993, the band took notice of vocalist Jonathan Davis after seeing his band Sexart and attempted to recruit him. Davis initially did not want to join the band, but after consulting a psychic he changed his mind and auditioned. After Davis was hired, the group decided to rename themselves. “Jonathan had an immediate idea for a new name. He suggested that we call the band “Korn,” and we all liked it. It sounded kinda creepy because it reminded us of that horror movie Children of the Corn”.

Starting with Korn’s self-titled debut album, and with subsequent albums Life Is Peachy, Follow The Leader, Issues, Untouchables, and Take A Look in the Mirror, the band gradually became one of the top-selling nu metal groups, earning $25 million in royalty payments and selling out arenas. In January 1995, Welch’s wife Rebekah gave birth to a daughter, but they decided to give her up for adoption. When she got pregnant again, they decided to keep the child. On July 6, 1998, Welch’s wife gave birth to their second daughter, Jennea Marie Welch. The band was scheduled to be on the UK version of Ozzfest, but dropped out so that Welch could be by his wife’s side. He and his wife have since divorced and Welch has custody of their daughter. The two reside in Arizona. Despite being divorced, Welch does keep in touch with his ex-wife.

He married Rebekkah Welch in 1998 and they divorced in 2001. He has a pair of daughters named Jeanne and Natalie.
