Jared Dines (born October 6, 1989) is an American YouTuber who is known for heavy metal-themed videos, covers, parodies, and original music.
Career[]
Dines worked as a recording engineer before pursuing YouTube full time.[2] He started his YouTube channel to promote his band They Charge Like Warriors in 2011.[3] Dines later gained popularity from his metal covers of pop songs.[4][5] His following grew as he collaborated with other artists such as Rob Scallon.[6]
In 2015, Dines co-founded the band Rest, Repose with Ryan "Fluff" Bruce. He left the project in 2019 to focus on his group Daddy Rock.[7] Dines was also a member of metalcore band Dissimulator.[8]
Dines, in competition with Steve Terreberry, became known for playing guitars with an unusual amount of strings.[9] In 2017, he was scammed when trying to purchase a 17 string instrument from a fraud luthier.[10][11] In response, Ormsby Guitars made him a custom 18 string guitar. This guitar was auctioned off, raising $20,000 for charity.[12][13]
In 2018, Dines toured with heavy metal band Trivium.[14] He partly replaced frontman Matt Heafy, who had to quit the tour prematurely.[15] Dines and Trivium further collaborated on a cover of "Better Now" by Post Malone.[16] In October 2019, he performed on stage with Breaking Benjamin.[17]
In April 2020, Dines appeared on the cover of Guitar World magazine, the first YouTuber to do so.[18] In 2020, Music Man released his signature Stingray guitar.[19] On December 4, 2020, he released a collaborative EP with Trivium vocalist and guitarist Matt Heafy under the name Dines X Heafy.[20] The video for "Dear Anxiety", which is the first track, was released on the same day to coincide with the release of Dines X Heafy.[21]
In March 2021, Dines joined with vocalist Howard Jones and producer Hiram Hernandez to release "The Blade" as part of a new project named Sion.[22]
