Ian Watkins (born in Pontypridd, Wales on July 30 1979) is the lead singer, and also one of the founding members, of the British band Lostprophets. Ian is straight edge[1] along with band mates Lee Gaze and Mike Lewis
He was originally a drummer in seminal hardcore band called Public Disturbance along with current lostprophets guitarist Mike Lewis.
He has so far recorded three albums with the band, thefakesoundofprogress, Start Something and Liberation Transmission. Ian has sometimes expressed disappointment for the popularity among British media and music critics towards American rock bands rather than successful British rock bands. Ian also has said that he prefers drumming to singing, but when Lostprophets first started out, there was no-one to be a vocalist, so he took on the job. The reason for his affinity for drumming may be because he started playing at only 14. He has actually said that he doesn't enjoy being vocalist because when on tour, it's his job to excite the crowd.
