He has also had an extensive solo career and has released a total of 25 albums across all of his projects as of 2020. After performing in a number of heavy metal bands in high school, Townsend was discovered in 1993 by a record label who asked him to perform lead vocals on Steve Vai's album Sex & Religion.
