Kung Fu Vampire burst onto the scene after discovering his lyrical prowess at age 14 while playing drums in his high school jazz band. A pivotal moment came in 2001 when a confrontation with a teacher led to the formation of his unique musical persona, Kung Fu Vampire. His early work, highlighted by the "Blood Bath Beyond" CD/DVD in 2003, set the stage for his breakthrough album "Dead Sexy" in 2009, which garnered attention for its inclusion in Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Album Covers."

Beyond music, Kung Fu Vampire has made his mark in film and television, contributing to the soundtrack of Darren Lynn Bousmans "Zombie" in 2013 and appearing on The Discovery Channel's "Oddities." His tracks have featured in Netflix hits like "Tales of Halloween" and "Mother's Day," both directed by the renowned Darren Lynn Bousman of the Saw franchise.

A dynamic live performer, Kung Fu Vampire has captivated audiences at high-profile events such as The Playboy Mansion, the Saw 3 Movie Premiere, and has been a recurring highlight at the Gathering of the Juggalos, performing there seven times since 2010. His extensive touring across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada culminated in the success of his 2023 album "Come Dawn," which soared to Billboard's Top 200 and reached #18 on the iTunes Hip Hop charts.

In 2023, Kung Fu Vampire released "Black Heart Machine," a project heavily influenced by his drummer's intense production style, and toured the West Coast with notable collaborators. Additionally, his acting debut in the award-winning short "Four Hour Layover in Juarez" earned accolades for Best Action. As Kung Fu Vampire continues to evolve, he remains committed to bringing his electrifying performance and the pulse of the Black Heart Machine to fans worldwide.
