BIOGRAPHY

Jinxx is a guitarist, violinist, songwriter, composer, and producer best known as a founding member of Black Veil Brides. Renowned for blending heavy metal guitar work with cinematic orchestration and classical influences, Jinxx has become one of modern rock’s most distinctive musicians and visual artists.

 

Born Jeremy Miles Ferguson, Jinxx began studying music at a young age, developing a deep appreciation for classical composers alongside hard rock and metal legends. His unique style combines aggressive riffs, melodic solos, symphonic arrangements, and dark theatrical aesthetics that have helped define the sound and image of Black Veil Brides since the band’s rise to international success.

 

With Black Veil Brides, Jinxx has toured worldwide, performed at major festivals, and contributed to multiple charting albums including We Stitch These Wounds, Set the World on Fire, Wretched and Divine, Vale, The Phantom Tomorrow, and Vindicate. His musicianship extends beyond guitar, frequently incorporating violin and orchestral composition into both studio recordings and live performances.

 

Outside the band, Jinxx is passionate about history, storytelling, horror, film, and film scoring. He is also the creator and host of Heavy Metal History, a series exploring historic locations, legendary stories, and the darker side of humanity's past through the lens of heavy music culture and life on the road.

 

Whether on stage, in the studio, or behind the camera, Jinxx continues to push creative boundaries while connecting with fans through music, art, and authentic storytelling.


Jinxx is a member of SAG-AFTRA and BMG.
