Biography

José Pasillas is of Mexican descent. His father is José Pasillas, I. He grew up in Calabasas, California. He began playing drums in 1990. Later in 1991, José and friends Brandon Boyd, Mike Einziger, original bassist Dirk Lance (Ben Kenney joined in 2003 upon Lance's departure) began Incubus in high school in the San Fernando Valley outpost of Calabasas.

José has mentioned he has never had any formal training for the drums, which he says has positives and negatives. Some of his influences include Stewart Copeland of The Police, and Tim Alexander of Primus.

Before dedicating himself fulltime to Incubus, he was a fulltime art student (as was Brandon), and he continues to create designs in his free time.

Jose is expecting his first child according to an interview conducted by Billboard.com. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003822011]
