Daron Malakian

The most talented guitarist on the face of Earth.

Daron Vartan Malakian was born on July 18, 1975 in Hollywood, CA as an only child to Vartan and Zepur Malakian. Like all members of the greatest band in the world, System of a Down, he has Armenian ancestry.

His love for music started when he was 4 years old. His cousin played him a KISS record and, like most people in their right mind, he loved it. Daron originally wanted to be a drummer, but his parents bought him a guitar so that they could sleep at night. He started liking heavy metal bands like Cannibal Corpse when he was a teen, but at about 17 he was listening to The Beatles. Daron was also a fan of the LA Kings hockey team.

In 1993, something happened that would lead to the best thing ever. Daron met Serj Tankian. They shared the same rehearsal studio but they were in separate bands at the time. Daron played lead guitar for one band, and Serj played keyboard for the other. The beginning of System of a Down was then created. They had named this new band "Soil". Soon after, they accepted Shavo Odadjian as their bassist. Soil's name was changed to System of a Down after a poem Daron wrote named Victims of a Down. Andy Khachaturian was their drummer who was replaced by John Dolmayan.

Daron wrote half of the lyrics and most of the music for System of a Down's songs. Some songs could be about the Armenian Genocide (look it up... it's terrible), crazy random stuff, and anything in between. System's debut album was released in 1998, Toxicity in 2001, Steal this Album in 2002, and Mesmerize and Hypnotize in 2005.

System was a successful and unique metal band for about 13 years. They disbanded in 2006 to do "side projects". Serj went solo and Daron and John formed a band called Scars on Broadway. Neither Scars or Serj will ever be as great as System because of the perfect harmony that Daron and Serj's voices made together. *sigh*... Oh well.

Daron Malakian lives in Glendale, Cali now and he collects candles, skulls, instruments, Persian rugs, and Middle Eastern smoking devices. He hates the Nu Metal label more than anything. He often plays his Ibanez Iceman which has custom graphics by his father.
Daron Malakian can play better than anyone... And he was very sexy in 2001-2002.

Damonne

Damonne is a guy you could never forget once you meet him. There are so many days, times, moments, that the whole world was against me and he’d just smile... and that’s make you smile. He’ll act tough but... he’s a sweetheart. He’s strong, tall, fast, but you could melt his heart with just a hug. He gets angry easily but if he ever does anything towards you he’d say sorry, admit he’s wrong, and always make you feel better. He’s not afraid of much but loosing the things he cares about can scare him. He’s a goofball and acts like a five year old but it’s just him. He’s hilarious and adorable and almost of his friends will tell you he’s pretty great. There’s no amount of words that describe this guy because he’s that special. There’s no one like him so once you meet him you can’t forget him. He’s attractive, he smells really good, he’s charming, and has the most cringeworthy pick up lines that can make you speechless and flattered. He... he’s the kinda guy that you should never let go. I can’t imagine myself with anybody else as perfect as he is.
Aye Damonne... Thank you

Daemon

In short, they are your soul. The spelling is taken from the His Dark Materials books. The concept in the books was taken from Aristotle's concept of a daimon who was his spiritual guide.

A daemon in our world is incorporeal, more of a voice in your head. When people visualize them, they are usually animals. They can shapeshift to almost anything. Eventually they will settle as an animal that reflects your personality and character the best.
My daemon is settled as a red fox.
