Jonathan Davis's mother, Holly Chavez, was a renowned actress and performer, while his father, Rick Davis played keyboards for Frank Zappa and Buck Owens.
When his parents split, he was three years old, and his father and stepmother reared him in Bakersfield. As a child, Jonathan Davis experienced severe asthma attacks.
