Maynard James Keenan is probably most famous for being the lead singer for rock bands Tool and A Perfect Circle. He was born in Ravenna, Ohio, in 1964 as James Herbert Keenan. In high school he moved to Michigan to live with his father who was a high school wrestling coach.  Maynard enlisted in the Army but decided to pursue music instead of attending West Point. Keenan went on to study art at the Kendall College of Art and Design in Michigan before moving to Los Angeles. He was part of several musical efforts before forming Tool with Adam Jones in 1990. Their first EP, "Opiate", dropped in 1992, and the group went on tour with Rage Against the Machine and Fishbone before their debut album hit in 1993. "Undertow" went platinum within a year and soon after, Tool attracted controversy with their music video, "Prison Sex", which was pulled from MTV because of its graphic nature. Tool's follow-up album won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 1998 and the group took a break after a lengthy contract dispute with their record label. Five years later, the group got together again for their third album, "Lateralus", and later released their fourth effort, "10,000 Days," in 2006. Keenan is also credited on several other albums, including three with "With A Perfect Circle" during the early 2000s and two with As Puscifer in 2007 and 2011. His movie debut came in 2009 in "Crank: High Voltage". Keenan is the owner of an Arizona-based vineyard and produce market. He is an advocate for several charities, including RAINN and Axis of Justice. He became engaged to Lei Li in 2010 and lives in Sedona, Arizona.
