Joey Belladonna (born Joseph Bellardini, October 13, 1960, Oswego, New York) is an Italian-American thrash metal musician, best known as the vocalist for the thrash metal band Anthrax. He is also the vocalist and drummer of the cover band Chief Big Way.
Belladonna is part Native American (from modern-day Canada) on his mother's side (who is Iroquois) and part Italian American. In his youth, he looked up to bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Kansas and Rush, bands that Belladonna said created "stuff that was very intricate but yet catchy and hooky you know, with great vocals."

Joey Belladonna was the lead singer of Anthrax from 1984 to 1992, and was considered part of the classic-lineup (also featuring Dan Spitz, Scott Ian, Frank Bello and Charlie Benante).

Belladonna returned to the band when the "classic" lineup reunited and toured during 2005 and 2006.

His voice has been featured on 5 studio albums and several EPs that have sold a total of 8 million copies worldwide. During Belladonna's first tenure with Anthrax, the band was nominated for three Grammys, and he was voted the Number 1 metal singer two years in a row in Metal Forces Magazine.
In early 2010, Belladonna officially rejoined Anthrax in time for the "Big Four" shows at the Sonisphere festival. Following these and other shows, Belladonna returned to the studio with the band to record new vocals for their long awaited album Worship Music.

Joey Belladonna possesses a tenor vocal range.
