Biography

Heafy was born in Iwakuni, Japan to an American father and a Japanese mother. His father is half-Irish and half-German. Although Heafy was born in Japan, he lived there for only one year. He does not speak Japanese fluently, however, he has mastered some of the basic phrases and uses them when it comes to performing in Japan. So he does with German as well. His family then moved to Orlando, Florida, where it currently resides. Heafy attended Lake Brantley High School. He completed his senior year while also touring in Europe, and graduated in 2004.

Heafy learned to play the saxophone in years leading up to becoming more serious on guitar at the age of twelve. At that period he was mostly listening to pop punk bands and even auditioned for a local one by playing Blink-182 song Dammit. He, however, was not accepted for the unspecified reason. He also cites being introduced to heavy metal by his classmate David who gave him a copy of Metallica's self-titled album.

My D Vu

by: Ace Of Base

My déjà vu...you're my obsession
My déjà vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
We'll get the magic back again
My déjà vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
I wanna see you dancing naked
I wanna see you touch the moon
But when I try to reach your fingers
You just vanish into air
I wanna feel you with my senses
'Cause I'm almost sure the texture of your skin
Is gonna tell me who you are
My déjà vu you're my obsession
My déjà vu it's always you
My Déjà Vu...
I wanna hold you like I used to
I wanna feel you in my blood
I wonder why I do confess this
To myself all the time
I know the time is working against us
But I'll long for you the rest of my whole life
Like a prisoner of hope
My déjà vu you're my obsession
My déjà vu it's always you
I have tried to get to know you
To get you off my mind
It feels like going back in time
And snap, I see your finger once again
My déjà vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
My déjà vu you're my obsession
My déjà vu it's always you
My déjà vu you're my obsession
