Davey Havok (born on 20 November 1975 in Rochester, New York) is the lead vocalist of the band AFI. Shortly after, he moved to Ukiah, California . There, Davey attended Catholic school in Ukiah until the eighth grade. During high school, his friends Markus Stopholese and Vic Chalker wanted to start a band( AFI ) . Unfortunately, they had several problems. Chief amongst them was that their lack of a drummer. Mark suggested his friend Adam Carson be in the band. Furthermore, they didn't know how to play any instruments, but they knew that Davey had a good voice, and Adam had a drum set. So Mark learned guitar and Vic learned bass (he was later replaced by future Tiger Army bassist Geoff Kresge).
