biography
Davey Havok is Italian-American and the son of Penny and Paul Marchand. Paul Marchand, however, is only his stepfather, whom Havok's mother married after the death of Havok's biological father, Davey was five at the time. Davey Havok adopted the new family name and also sees his stepfather entirely as his "real" father.
At the age of six, his family moved to Ukiah , California . Up to eighth grade he went to a Catholic school. There he sang in the choir and took on some roles in school plays. During his high school years, he formed a musical group with friends Mark Blackwelder and Vic Chalker in 1991. They also persuaded a schoolmate, Adam Carson, to take over the drums. After high school , the band broke up and Havok attended college to study English and psychology.
While in college there was a "reunion" concert by AFI , as the band was now called. After the band's success, Davey Havok dropped out of college. He and Jade Puget , the guitarist of the band AFI , operated the electro side project Blaqk Audio . Havok also took on the role of singer in the horror punk band Son of Sam . However, Havok was always able to celebrate his greatest successes, also internationally, with AFI .
