Tool band’s official Twitter account shares a photo for Maynard James Keenan‘s birthday. Maynard James Keenan was born on April 17, 1964, in Ravenna, Ohio. And now Maynard is known for rock bands Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer.

Maynard’s musical career began in the 1980s when he moved to Los Angeles to study art at the Kendall College of Art and Design. While there, he met guitarist Adam Jones and drummer Danny Carey, with whom he formed the band Tool in 1990. Tool’s debut album, “Undertow,” was released in 1993 and quickly gained critical acclaim. The band’s subsequent albums, “Ænima,” “Lateralus,” and “10,000 Days,” solidified Tool’s reputation as one of the most innovative and influential bands of the 1990s and 2000s.

In addition to Tool, Keenan has also been the frontman for the band A Perfect Circle since 1999. With A Perfect Circle, Keenan has explored a more melodic and introspective style of music, with hits like “Judith” and “The Outsider” showcasing his ability to craft powerful and emotional songs.

Keenan’s unique vocal style has been one of the defining characteristics of his music. His voice ranges from haunting whispers to powerful screams, conveying a wide range of emotions and moods. Keenan’s lyrics are also notable for their introspective and philosophical themes, often delving into topics like spirituality, personal growth, and the nature of reality.

Outside of music, Keenan is also an accomplished winemaker, having founded the Arizona-based winery Caduceus Cellars in 2004. Keenan has been passionate about wine for many years and has incorporated his love of the beverage into his music, with Tool’s album “Lateralus” featuring a hidden track titled “Lateralus Vineyard.”

As Maynard celebrates his birthday on April 17th, fans around the world will certainly be remembering on his many contributions to the world of music and art.
