Rob Halford! Vocalist of Judas Priest, is known to be the father, or one of the fathers of heavy metal. Named by many as the god of metal, he competes with Black Sabbath and Dio.
His characteristic style of singing influenced many artists during the 80s and 90s
He started singing when was a teenager in local Hard Rock bands while working as a lighting assistant in theater, which allowed him to cover the expenses.
