Early Life and Career

After auditioning, David was accepted into the band but needed permission from his mother. When Jonathan Davis joined the group, they changed their name to KoЯn. While Brian Welch, James Shaffer, and Reginald Arvizu took on stage names, Davis and Silveria continued to use their real names.

Personal Life

David Silveria divorced his wife Shannon in 2002. He has two children, David Jr. and Sofia Aurora. In 2006, Silveria underwent surgery to have a rib removed, which had been causing issues with his left hand.

For the remainder of the tour, Silveria was unable to play drums and was replaced by Mike Bordin of Faith No More. Silveria returned to the band during the recording of their album Untouchables, stating, "I hit really hard."
