He liked music, and was a big Ozzy Osbourne fan.

He began playing the guitar at the age of 10. His first guitar was a Peavey Mystic" + "Along with fellow Korn guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer, Welch helped develop Korn's distinctive sound (a mix of sirenlike shards of dissonant guitar that mimicked a turntablist's various effects and rumbling down-tuned riffing) that defined the nu metal aesthetic beginning in the mid-'90s" + "Describing how he got his nickname "Head", Welch stated, "Guys said my head looked like it was too big for my body, and so they started calling me 'Head.' I guess it stuck" + "Welch left Korn in 2005 after converting to Christianity, stating he wanted to focus on his faith and raising his daughter. During his time away from Korn, he pursued a solo career under the name Brian Head Welch and later formed a band called Love and Death" + "In 2013, Welch rejoined Korn, balancing his faith with his career in heavy metal music. His journey, including his struggles with substance abuse and spiritual transformation, is detailed in his autobiography, Save Me from Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story")
