When the group added Chi Cheng to the mix the band Deftones was formed. The Deftones were signed to Maverick Records after one of Maverick Records’ representatives saw the band play in Los Angeles, California. Moreno’s musical influences include a wide range (and long list) of styles and genres, some of which are The Cure, Bad Brains, Duran Duran, Alice in Chains, Jane’s Addiction and Weezer. His notoriously ambiguous yet image-heavy poetic lyrics are also his signature. Moreno has been married twice and has two sons from his first marriage to Celeste Schroeder, sons Kristian and Jakobi. He has a third child, daughter Lola, with second wife Risa Mora-Moreno.
