Cedric Bixler-Zavala (born November 4, 1974 in Redwood City, California) is a Grammy Award-winning Mexican-American musician known for his work as frontman and lyricist of the progressive rock band The Mars Volta, and as frontman and occasional guitarist of the post-hardcore emotive group At the Drive-In as well as psychedelic rock supergroup Anywhere, in which he both sings and plays drums. Bixler-Zavala has a High Tenor vocal range, spanning from the G above Low C (G2) to Soprano C (C6), which contrast his vocal work for At the Drive-In which consisted mainly of a screaming style. He has also played drums for a number of acts, including the dub act De Facto and recently Big Sir.
Bixler-Zavala is fond of Frank Zappaesque humour and writes in English, Spanish, and Latin.
