Korn has welcomed a pint-sized powerhouse to their lineup! Remember those awkward middle school days? Well, Tye Trujillo is making them look like child’s play as he tours with the legendary nu-metal band. For those who might have missed it, Korn took over MTV’s TRL back in the late ’90s and early ’00s, snagging Grammys along the way like Best Music Video in 2000.
In a surprising twist, Korn recently revealed their new bassist is none other than Tye, the 12-year-old son of Metallica’s bassist, Rob Trujillo. This kid not only rocks out on his guitar but also sports some seriously enviable hair—perfect for headbanging while he absolutely shreds.
While most kids are busy figuring out who they are, Tye seems to have it all sorted out. He confidently takes the stage in front of thousands, as if he’s been doing it for years. And he kind of has! Tye’s been jamming with his own band, The Helmets, since he was eight. This California-based group has already rocked the Kidsapalooza stage at Lollapalooza, traveling from Chicago to Chile. When they aren’t performing, these four under-12 rockers enjoy surfing and skating, because why not?
Tye cites his musical inspiration from albums like “Black Gives Way to Blue” by Alice in Chains and Tool’s “10,000 Days”, which he remembers listening to at just five years old. Seriously, how cool is that?
Although Trujillo isn’t taking over for Korn’s longtime bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, who had to bow out of their South America tour for personal reasons, he’ll be performing alongside them until May 6. This is a remarkable achievement for someone his age, and it’s evident that Tye is destined for a bright future in music.
