Career

YouTube Journey

Before becoming a full-time YouTuber, Jared Dines worked as someone who records music in a studio. He started his YouTube channel in 2011 to help promote his band at the time, called They Charge Like Warriors.

His big break on YouTube came in 2014. He posted a video called "10 Styles of Metal." Before this, his videos only got a few hundred views. But "10 Styles of Metal" became super popular, getting millions of views! Local news and music websites even talked about it. Because of this success, Jared started making more funny videos and skits. He also became famous for playing metal versions of pop songs. His audience grew even more when he started working with other YouTubers, like Rob Scallon.

Jared Dines and another YouTuber, Steve Terreberry, became known for playing guitars with a crazy number of strings. In 2017, Jared was tricked when he tried to buy a 17-string guitar. But later, he got a special 18-string guitar as a gift. He showed it off at a big music event in 2018 called the NAMM Show. Steve Terreberry then showed off his own 20-string guitar in 2019! After their friendly competition, Jared and Steve sold their unique guitars in a charity auction to raise money.

Music Life

In 2015, Jared Dines helped start a band called Rest, Repose. He left that band in 2019 to focus on his new group, Daddy Rock. Jared was also part of another metalcore band called Dissimulator.

In 2018, Jared went on tour with the heavy metal band Trivium. He helped fill in for their lead singer, Matt Heafy, who had to leave the tour early because his wife was about to have a baby. Jared and Trivium also worked together on a cover of the song "Better Now" by Post Malone. In October 2019, Jared even performed on stage with the band Breaking Benjamin.

In April 2020, Jared Dines made history by being the first YouTuber to appear on the cover of Guitar World magazine. That same year, the company Music Man released a special guitar designed by Jared, called his signature Stingray guitar. On December 4, 2020, he released an album with Trivium's singer and guitarist, Matt Heafy. They called their project Dines X Heafy. They also released a music video for their song "Dear Anxiety" on the same day.

In March 2021, Jared teamed up with singer Howard Jones and producer Hiram Hernandez. They started a new music project called Sion. Their first album, also called SION, came out on November 26, 2021. As of 2024, they are working on their second album.
