Early life
Belladonna was born Joseph Bellardini in Oswego, New York. He is Italian American on his father's side and Native American (Iroquois) on his mother's side. In his youth, Belladonna looked up to bands such as the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Kansas and Rush; bands that Belladonna said created "stuff that was very intricate but yet catchy and hooky you know, with great vocals."
