Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Jon Siren developed a quick love for music
at an early age during the MTV era.  It took years of playing guitar and
bass in local bands before finally moving onto the drums.  Having a late
start on the instrument, he had to learn on the job as a senior in high
school with local grindcore and punk bands "Medium" and "Inept."  Feeling
the instant rush he got from drums and the lack of a pool of musicians in
the area playing in these fringe genres, Jon found himself being offered
various gigs that had touring opportunities.

In his early 20's, Jon moved to NYC and met one of his favorite industrial
rock bands "Kevorkian Death Cycle."  They had just lost their drummer and
were looking at other possibilities.  Jon jumped on this and moved to
Southern California to join the band but in the process of moving, KDC had
broken up.  While out in Los Angeles, Jon met up with Natasha Cox and
formed electronic rock band "Mankind Is Obsolete."  The two went on to
record multiple albums and still remains a creative outlet in which he is
one of the chief song writers.

Since living in Los Angeles, Jon has had many opportunities to tour
internationally with major label and independent bands in the
electronic/industrial genre.  Jon has spent the last 15+ years consistently
on tour with the following artists: IAMX, Front Line Assembly, Early Man,
Information Society, Mankind Is Obsolete, White Empress “feat. Paul
Allender of Cradle Of Filth,” Hate Department, Dismantled, Psyclon Nine,
Dawn Of Ashes, kidneythieves, God Module, System Syn, Imperative Reaction,
Inure, Christopher Anton "Former Information Society lead singer,"
September Mourning, Ludovico Technique and Aerodrone.

Jon's drumming and songwriting can be also heard in various films such as:
The Virgin Murders, Promise and Amber Lake.
