Chester Charles Bennington (*20th March, 1976, Phoenix, Arizona) started his musical career really early. His first band was called "Grey Daze", but he left the band in 1998. After struggling to find a new band to sing in, Bennington thought about quitting his musical carrier altogether.That's when Jeff Blue (vice president of A&R at Zomba Music) offered him a audition with a band called "Xero", in Los Angeles.
Chester quited his job and moved to LA where he successfully made his audition and find his new band, they're called "Hybrid Theory" at this point.
They struggled to get a record deal but finally made it with Warner Brothers.
After some legally issues the band had to find another name and "Linkin Park" was born.
Now Linkin Park is one of the biggest rock bands in the world and Chester made it big as a singer as well. After Mike Shinoda started his side project "Fort Minor" in 2005 is it now Chester's turn to come out with "Dead by sunrise".
