Brian Welch (born June 19, 1970 in Torrance, California), better known around the world as "Head," was a member of the band KoЯn, which is said to have revolutionized the genre of nu metal. Welch played rhythm and lead guitar with the act as well as provided backup vocals.

Before the formation of KoЯn, Welch was friends with James "Munky" Shaffer. The two jammed together on guitar. When Shaffer's band, L.A.P.D. ("Love and Peace, Dude"), was looking for another guitarist, he joined and the two would become one of rock's most revered guitar-tandems. Eventually, the band found a singer in Jonathan Davis, and they released their album KoЯn in 1994 which would be the first of many successful albums, including Life Is Peachy, Follow the Leader, Issues, Untouchables, Take A Look In The Mirror, and See You On The Other Side.
