About David Draiman
David Michael Draiman is an American heavy metal singer. Noted for his distorted baritone voice and percussive singing style, he has been the lead vocalist of Disturbed since 1996. He has written some of the band's most successful singles, such as "Stupify", "Down with the Sickness", "Indestructible", and "Inside the Fire". In 2006, he was ranked at No. 42 on the Hit Parader list of "Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time". During Disturbed's hiatus from 2011 to 2015, he worked on an industrial metal project with Geno Lenardo, which was later named Device. They released one self-titled album in 2013. Disturbed returned with the album Immortalized in 2015, Evolution in 2018, and Divisive in 2022. Draiman has said of his influences, "The first record I ever bought was Kiss' Destroyer. I'll never forget getting my first Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains records." Draiman has been known to stylize his social media posts with Caps Lock activated, "which is akin to yelling in web etiquette," according to Loudwire.
