Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on November 04, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Cedric Bixler-Zavala! May your day be as electrifying and delightfully unpredictable as your Grammy-winning vocals. From the mind-bending melodies of The Mars Volta to the soulful grooves of Zavalaz, you've consistently proven that progressive rock isn't just a genre—it's an adventure.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more epic stage dives, hair-raising high notes, and lyrics that leave us joyfully puzzled for days. Keep defying musical gravity and inspiring us all with your boundless creativity. Cheers to another orbit around the sun filled with sonic brilliance—and may your birthday cake be as layered as your compositions!
