Jacoby Dakota Shaddix (born July 28, 1976, in Vacaville, California) is the lead singer of the alternative rock band Papa Roach. He also goes by the pseudonyms Coby Dick (used on the Infest album) and Jonny Vodka but he only used Coby Dick until 2001. He also calls himself Dakota Gold. Jacoby is also working on a side project in the post-hardcore band, Fight the Sky, where he originally used the name John Doe. He is also working as the host for MTV's Scarred.
Jacoby Shaddix went to Vacaville High School in Vacaville, California.
Shaddix has admittedly taken part in self-mutilation, which once led him to a Las Vegas hospital where he had to have 11 staples put in his head.[1] He has also struggled with drug addiction during his career.[2]
Shaddix has many tattoos; one of which, reads "Here Lies Jacoby Dakota Shaddix" and, at the bottom of the scroll, "Born With Nothing, Die With Everything." His neck bares the Chinese character for "love", which he explained in an edition of MTV Cribs that featured his home. He also has tattoos on both of his hands. His right hand says "love", and his left hand says "hate". Shaddix has been known to closely follow various fashion trends of a given period (i.e. Aviator sunglasses and black nail polish in 2002, a scarf and Jack Daniel's T-shirt in 2005). He is married to Kelly Shaddix and has two kids, Makaile and Jagger.
