Jizzy Pearl is an Irish-American vocalist born fittingly on Saint Patrick's Day of 1958 in Chicago, Illinois. He first fronted the rock band Love/Hate, and has also sung for L.A. Guns, Ratt, Adler's Appetite and other less well known acts.

Jizzy Pearl has released the solo albums Just a Boy and Vegas Must Die.Vegas Must Die was released on July 19th 2005 on Shrapnel Records. The album contains eleven songs. Jizzy produced the album which was engineered by Michael Lardie of Great White/Night Ranger.

His vocal style has changed considerably over the years, with only the opener, 'Hit And Miss' serving up the patented Jizzy whine. But his voice is a lot richer, and he takes different tones to different tunes, almost playing characters in his own stories.

Besides singing and songwriting Jizzy has also turned his hand to story writing, writing 3 books to date "I Got More Crickets Than Friends", "Angst For The Memories" - and 2006's, "Unhappy Endings", a collection of short stories, all of which are all slightly twisted, bizarre.

On December 4, 2006 Pearl announced that he is no longer a member of Ratt on his website's message board.
