M Shadows grew up with his two years younger sister Amy, who is a professional basketball player. His interest in rock and metal music developed when he started to play the guitar. Despite being expelled from his first middle school, he graduated from Huntington Beach High School. Before forming “Avenged Sevenfold” in 1999, Shadows was part of several bands with Zacky Vengeance, the band’s current rhythm guitarist. Upon establishing “Avenged Sevenfold”, he wanted to incorporate his real name into his stage name. The final idea came after he reduced Marshal to “M” and added “Shadows” to describe himself as a “dark” member of the group.
Despite having a baritone voice, he perfected his singing technique to comfortably sing in the tenor range as well. His vocal style has evolved over the years, from harsh growls on the band’s first studio album “Sounding the Seventh Trumpet” (2001), to melodic vocal lines with strong screaming influence, to minimal background screaming with strong vocal melodies on the band’s label debut album “City of Evil” (2005). Shadows was influenced by classic metal bands, listing “Guns N’ Roses” as his biggest influence and favorite band, with bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Iron Maiden, and Ozzy Osbourne also impacting his creativity.
In addition to releasing seven albums with “Avenged Sevenfold”, Shadows has collaborated with various other artists and made guest appearances on numerous albums, further increasing his net worth. He produced the 2007 album “Requiem” by “The Confessions”, and featured on the “Steel Panther” group’s album “Feel the Steel” in 2009. He also collaborated with Good Charlotte and sang in “The River”, a song from their album “Good Morning Revival” (2007), and sang “Nothing to Say” on Slash’s solo album in 2010. Some of Shadows’ most recent works include his contribution to “Avenged Sevenfold’s” album “Hail to the King” in 2013.
In his personal life, M Shadows married his long-time high school girlfriend Valary DiBenedetto in October 2009, and they have two sons.
