Message from Alice…
I haven’t written anything yet, first because I don’t really like promoting myself and second because I’m french and not quite sure if every word are going to sound english haha, but I think it’s the right time to share my experience with Chi. I first met him 2 years ago in Paris, while I was following Jeff and his band Will Haven who was opening for Deftones in Europe....
Read MoreA message from Chi’s first wife Adrienne Cheng…
I first met Chi Cheng when he was 23 and I was 22. He was in construction and had just dropped out of Sac State to focus more time on his band. They were playing small clubs for about $20 a night mostly in Sacramento and the bay area. We fell in love hard and fast and married only a year and a half later. Chi was always very close to his family and upon spending time with them I realized why....

You can probably classify it as something stupid that kids do when they’re in...

I was fortunate enough to see them interact with the fans from behind the scenes at several in store cd signings. I remember one signing in particular where there where around 3,000+ kids waiting to get the cd signed and snap a picture with the band. While others would have...

Well my Defones story begins in 1996 with my friend Andy. I was at the mall one night and saw him and he drug me to the music store and shoved Adrenaline into my chest and said buy this right now, it will change your life. Well it did and has been ever since. About a year later though he was hit and killed by a car as he was crossing the street. I have to always remember him for introducing me to...
