History

He joined Black Veil Brides in mid-2009 when Andy Biersack was forming his band in Hollywood, California. He had also played in The Dreaming, Amen, Team Cybergeist, and The Drastics.[1][2][3][4] He got his first guitar when he was two, and started playing live shows with his father at age eight, playing in local bars.[1] He is influenced by classical composers Bach and Beethoven.[2][5] The first album he ever owned was Metallica's fourth album, ...And Justice for All, and he learned to play every track.[6] He and fellow Black Veil Brides guitarist Jake Pitts won Revolver Magazine's Golden Gods Award for "Best Guitarists 2012".[7][8] Jinxx married West End theatre dancer/ actress Alice Mogg on September 16th, 2018 in London. She is the niece of singer Phil Mogg of classic rock band UFO, and sister of Nigel Mogg, former bassist of The Quireboys. He has cited major influences such as Metallica, KISS, Def Leppard, Twisted Sister, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Personal Life

On December 2nd, 2019, he made a post on his Instagram confirming that he has Epilepsy. A day later he posted another message thanking everyone for the positive response he received after revealing it. He has since run a few auctions of some of his Black Veil Brides tour memorabilia from which some of the proceeds were donated to the Epilepsy Foundation. [9]
