Jonathan Lewis Seward, (born November 18, 1984), better known by his stage name Johnny Christ, is a member of the American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold.[1] Johnny was the fourth bassist to join Avenged Sevenfold in 2002, replacing former members Matt Wendt, Dameon Ash, and Justin Sane. He grew up in Huntington Beach, California.Christ initially took a few weeks off from high school during his senior year to fill in for Avenged Sevenfold's previous bassist, Dameon Ash, during one of their tours because he went on tour with Avenged Sevenfold as a "roadie". These few weeks would become permanent as he dropped out of high school to become the band's current bassist.
He first recorded on their second album Waking the Fallen. He used to write only Johnny on his autographs until Zacky came up with the name "Johnny Christ", and in All Excess he said, "That sounds... really ballsy. Everyone's gonna hate that, so... I should definitely go with that." He resides in Huntington Beach, Orange County.
