Fieldy was born November 2nd, 1969. May 1998, Fieldy married his girlfriend, Shela. They have two daughters, Serena, who was born on September 30 1997 and in December 98' Shela gave birth to Olivia. While his dad was touring with his band. The tour bus pulled over and Fieldy popped out. Fieldy first bass was a gift from his father at the age of 5. Fieldy also does the merchandise for KoRn. He designs the t-shirts, hats, and stickers. Fieldy will show the designs to the band. And they'll either approve or disapprove. Fieldy is truly a unique bass player; his sound is like a drummer. Fieldy quotes himself, as "I'm a drummer. A drummer on bass." This sound has revolutionized the world of the Bass Guitar. "I play when I have to, I don't practice ever. If were going to write a song, I'll play, but I don't sit around and play my bass ever. Not even on my most boring day! I used to practice back in the day. But, I mean, I'm not about practicing today. I'm more about creating songs and we only do that when we're in a room together. I don't just sit around watching TV practicing or trying to make songs up." Fieldy got his nickname because when he was younger he said he had "chipmunk cheeks".. "So everyone started calling me 'Gopher'. Then it became 'Garr'. Then they started calling me 'Garfield'. Then it became 'Fieldy'." Fieldy is also known for his love of alcohol. As seen in 'Who Then Now', he says," You always have to have ice coldy's in the fridge. If you want to go on tour with us, start drinkin'." When asked what he likes about touring the clubs, his reply is "the free beer." Fieldy uses the Ibanez Sound Gear series. "When I first started playing bass, I looked at the Ibanez because they were small, smaller than other basses, so that was the main reason. Then I played it, and it sounded better to me than all the others." Fieldy's favorite food is sushi. " All I can eat. I love sushi it's my favorite food. I don't think I wanna go out eating Taco Bell." What advice would you have for a young player who might want to model their career after yours? "You've got to put everything aside, no matter how tired you are. Make it a priority, NOTHING else. Music has always got to be your main priority, don't let anything get in the way of it."
