Trent Reznor, or common known as the one man band Nine Inch Nails, is one of the most influencial, unique and talented musicians of our time. He is widely known for his absurdly high standards, which is shown alone in the fact that although his band, NIN, has existed for almost 15 years to date Trent Reznor is furthermore responsible for other very famous groups to have come through, of these, most famous is Marilyn Manson, for whom Reznor produced the first couple of albums and helped raising to the fame they enjoy today.


Leads the music group Nine Inch Nails. Heads up 'nothing records', a division of 'Interscope Records'. Converted an old funeral parlor in New Orleans into a recording studio. The door to the studio was salvaged from the former rented "love house" of Sharon Tate (one of seven of the victims of Charles Manson and his "family"). Played in bands such as Option 30, Prick and Exotic Birds (which did music for the Michael J. Fox movie, "Light Of Day". At his high school he played the role of Judas in a school performance of Jesus Christ Superstar. Reznor has 2 dogs. A labrador named "Ethyl." and a Weirmaraner named "Daisy May." They both walk around freely in the New Oreleans Headquarters of Nothing Studios. Dropped out of College to spend his time with local bands, not doing much more than playing keyboards and occasionally doing background vocals. Played prominent roles in his high school's productions of Jesus Christ SuperStar and The Music Man, as Judas and Professor Harold Hill respectively. He was voted "best in Drama" by his classmates. He renovated an old funeral home into his home / studio. Is a huge David Bowie fan. He enjoys listening to Tori Amos, Aphex Twin, Dead Can Dance, The Flaming Lips, Jane's Addiction, Ministry, Portishead, Radiohead, Rammstein, Skinny Puppy, The Smashing Pumpkins and Tool Former band-mate Richard Patrick is now the front-man for the alternative rock band "Filter" Is a huge fan of The Cure. Nine Inch Nails were voted the 44th Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artists of all time by Rolling Stone. He is a direct descendant of George Reznor, founder of Reznor Company in 1888 (a major manufacturer of Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning equipment). The Reznor Company was sold in the 1960s, but the equipment is still manufactured in Mercer, Pennsylvania (Trent Reznor's home town). A popular rumor is that Reznor got the name Nine Inch Nails for his band because it was the length of the nails used in the crucifixion of Christ. Reznor, however, denies this. His musical work heavily inspired Maquinista, El (2004) (The Machinist). Christian Bale's character is named Trevor Reznik, a clear play on Reznor's own name; the N in Machinist was often seen in promotional posters printed backwards akin to the infamous Nine Inch Nails logo; and originally the soundtrack was meant to include a lot of NIN's material but was deemed too 'cheesy' due to the overall industrial feel and setting of the film as it was. In May of 2009 publicly announced his wedding engagement to Mariqueen Maandig, a one-time Playboy model and lead singer for underground rock band "West Indian Girl".
