Korn Biography

Korn (sometimes typeset as Ko?n to fit their logo) is a nu metal band from Bakersfield, California.

They are often credited with creating the nu metal genre and inspiring a wave of nu metal, alternative metal and rap metal bands through the mid 1990s and early 2000s, assisting in particular Limp Bizkit (who were discovered by Korn themselves), Staind and Incubus.

Since their 1994 self-titled debut, Korn have sold over 20 million records worldwide - including 16 million in the U.S. -, making them one of the best-selling metal acts of the last twelve years.

Korn is currently managed by Peter Kasis and Jimmy Bryant for The Firm Management. Peter Katsis began his career in Chicago after graduating from Southern Illinois University with a degree in film. Mr. Katsis built a solid foundation for his management career by booking colleges, and up and coming regional acts through out the mid-west, then developing relationships with east-coast venues, and promoters. Mr. Katsis was the first manager for the band Ministry. Peter managed a few other popular Chicago based bands, notably Nicolas Tremulus, Eight and One Half, and The Bonemen of Barumba before heading to the west coast with his partner Jeff Kwantinetz.
