Mark Chavez

Mark "Marky" Anthony Chavez (born November 15 1978) is an American-born singer of Mexican descent. he is best known as the former vocalist for the nu metal band Adema. He departed that band in late 2004. Since departing the band, he has received somewhat of a cult following, possibly because the fans perfered his voice and hard rock singing style than Luke Caraciolli's softer style. After Luke's departure from Adema, Mark caught up with his former band members and have now come to good terms. They even were in the talks about getting back together with Mark as their lead singer and even wrote and sung a few songs for a while, but for reasons unknown that didn't happen, but the two are now on good terms.

Though there were rumors that he was working on a project dubbed "State Of Mind," which formerly featured Geno Lenardo and Frank Cavanagh, the guitarist and bassist of Filter, these turned out to be false. Chavez's current band, which does not feature the aforementioned musicians, is called Midnight Panic. The band has currently released two songs, "Celebrate" and "Give Me One Chance" via their website; their album is expected out by the first week of December.

Mark is the younger half-brother of Jonathan Davis of Korn, both of whom were raised in Bakersfield, CA. He attended and graduated from Garces Memorial High School, a private Catholic school, in 1997. He is married and has a son, Marky Chavez III, born March 18, 2003.

Their self-titled debut album "Midnight Panic" is now avaible via their label's internet website.

Midnight Panic is expecting to release a follow-up LP including all the songs on featured on their debut EP, along with 4 additional songs and a bonus DVD, sometime in 2006. They have also announced that they have finished their first video for their single, "Tonight Is Our Last Night." The video is available via their myspace website as well as the song itself.
