Initially starting with bands like Sexart in the early 90s, Jonathan laid the groundwork for his music career. Upon joining the band Creep, which later adopted the moniker "Korn" at Jonathan's suggestion, he was catapulted into the forefront of the nu metal movement. The success of Korn stylized as "KoЯn," was a result of their high-charting albums, making it the pioneer of the nu-metal genre.

In 2007, during a period when Korn's dominance began to wane, Jonathan began recording solo albums. In 2018, he released his first solo single, "What It Is." The song was included on the movie's soundtrack for "American Satan." The same year, he released his debut solo album, "Black Labyrinth with Sumerian Records." The singer released an alternate country version of his single "What It Is" in 2020. Moreover, he founded the group Jonathan Davis and the SFA.

He also featured in Limp Bizkit's music videos and made various cameos in films like "Queen of the Damned," "Seeing Other People," and "Monk." He ventured into DJ-ing under the name JDevil. In 2011, Jonathan performed at Infected Mushroom and collaborated with Sluggo and California producer Tyler Blue on an EP. Together with Datsik and Infected Mushroom, he released "Evilution" in 2012.
