==Career==

===Deftones===
{{Main|Deftones}}

Circa 1988, Moreno started jamming regularly with his middle-school friends [[Abe Cunningham]] and [[Stephen Carpenter]], leading to the formation of [[Deftones]]. Within two years, the group started playing club shows. They were signed to Maverick Records after one of their representatives saw them play in Los Angeles. Their first commercially released album was ''[[Adrenaline (album)|Adrenaline]]'' (1995), produced by [[Terry Date]]. While the album wasn't an instant success, extensive touring, word-of-mouth, and Internet promotion built the band a dedicated fan base, as well as helping ''Adrenaline'' to sell over 220,000 copies without the singles "[[7 Words]]" and "[[Bored (Deftones song)|Bored]]" (as well as their music videos) receiving any airplay. For 1997's ''[[Around the Fur]]'', the band expanded its sound, spending more time with Date, and giving more thought to the album's production. The record was highly anticipated and propelled Deftones to fame in the [[alternative metal]] scene on the strength of radio and [[MTV]] airplay for the singles "[[My Own Summer (Shove It)]]" and "[[Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)]]".

''[[White Pony]]'' was released in 2000 to critical acclaim and unprecedented commercial success. [[Frank Delgado (American musician)|Frank Delgado]] had become a full-time band member, adding new elements to the band's music, while Moreno himself contributed guitar lines in addition to vocals. With influences of [[new wave music|new wave]], [[dream pop]], and [[trip hop]], the album is considered a turning point for the band in terms of experimentation. Singles "[[Change (In the House of Flies)]]" and "[[Digital Bath]]" supported the album's release. A single entitled "[[Back to School (Mini Maggit)]]" was released as a rap-influenced reinterpretation of ''White Pony's'' closing track, "Pink Maggit". While commercially successful and a fan favourite, the band have previously strongly objected to its publication, although it is unclear whether this is still the case.<ref>{{cite magazine |last= Lash |first= Jolie |date= September 16, 2000 |title= The Deftones Add New Single to "White Pony" |url= https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/deftones/articles/story/5925471/the_deftones_add_new_single_to_white_pony |magazine= [[Rolling Stone]] |access-date= December 23, 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090510070709/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/deftones/articles/story/5925471/the_deftones_add_new_single_to_white_pony | archive-date = May 10, 2009 | url-status = dead}}</ref> ''White Pony'' was subsequently re-released with "Back to School (Mini Maggit)" as the album's opening track. For the song "[[Elite (song)|Elite]]", Deftones received the 2001 [[Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance]].

In 2001, Moreno developed a throat injury due to heavy screaming and was forced to miss at least four shows. He suffered inflammation on his right vocal cord and partial paralysis of the left vocal cord. During the rest of their supporting tour, bassist Chi Cheng took over vocal duties that required screaming while Moreno sang the softer melodies of the lyrics, despite recommendations by doctors to hold off from singing to allow time for recovery as well as rumors that the band would be cancelling the remaining stretch of the tour with [[Godsmack]] and [[Puddle of Mudd]].<ref name="MTV">{{cite web|title=Injury Snags Deftones Tour|publisher=[[MTV]]|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1445267/20010718/deftones.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010726113207/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1445267/20010718/deftones.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 26, 2001 }}</ref>

The eponymous ''[[Deftones (album)|Deftones]]'' was released in 2003, and saw the band being praised for the heavy album's progression and originality in the midst of declining creativity in contemporary metal. Moreno was quoted as saying, "It's all on record. We told motherfuckers not to lump us in with [[nu metal]] because when those bands go down we aren't going to be with them." ''[[B-Sides & Rarities (Deftones album)|B-Sides & Rarities]]'' saw release in 2005, bringing together unreleased and obscure material accrued since 1995. 2006's ''[[Saturday Night Wrist]]'' was completed after a protracted and tumultuous recording process, nearly leading to Moreno's departure from Deftones. Later he said it had been "a seriously unhealthy experience" and he "wasn't sure if [he] was going to return" at the time the band was on a self-imposed hiatus. After eventually finishing the album in early 2006, Moreno claimed it to be more of a compromise between all of the members' influences, ranging from their brutal and brooding heavy signature seen on ''Adrenaline'' and ''Around the Fur'' to the more experimental sound heard on ''White Pony'' and ''Deftones''. However, the band saw a significant decrease on the album's first week sales compared to their two previous releases.

Deftones were working on an upcoming album with the working title ''[[Eros (Deftones album)|Eros]]'', when bassist [[Chi Cheng (musician)|Chi Cheng]] was severely injured in a car accident in November 2008, remaining in a [[minimally conscious state]] and later a partially conscious state up until his death in April 2013. In 2009, the group had recruited [[Sergio Vega (bassist)|Sergio Vega]] for his replacement and announced an indefinite delay of ''Eros'', stating "... we realized that this record doesn't best encompass and represent who we are currently as people and as musicians."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=426076934&blogId=496618043 |title=Deftones myspace blog entry for June 24, 2009 |date=June 24, 2009 |access-date=January 2, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100808225931/http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=426076934&blogId=496618043 |archive-date=August 8, 2010}}</ref> With Vega, the group began work on a new album, ''[[Diamond Eyes]]'', which was released on May 4, 2010. It saw the release of the popular singles "[[Rocket Skates]]", "[[You've Seen the Butcher]]" and "[[Diamond Eyes (song)|Diamond Eyes]]". In November 2012, Deftones released their seventh studio album, titled ''[[Koi No Yokan]]''. "[[Leathers (Deftones song)|Leathers]]", "[[Tempest (Deftones song)|Tempest]]" and "[[Swerve City]]" came out as its singles. The band released their eighth studio album ''[[Gore (Deftones album)|Gore]]'' in 2016. In 2020, Deftones released their ninth studio album, called ''[[Ohms (album)|Ohms]]'', which garnered significant critical praise.

===Side projects===

During the making of Deftones' ''[[White Pony]]'', Moreno began work on a [[side project]], [[Team Sleep]]. The group released their [[Team Sleep (album)|self-titled debut album]] in May 2005.

In March 2011, Moreno stated to be working on a new side project known as [[Crosses (band)|Crosses]], featuring [[Far (band)|Far]] guitarist [[Shaun Lopez]] and Chuck Doom. Moreno described the project as "minimal and soothing, and it's sort of like the stuff I like listening to when I'm not screaming my head off."<ref name="Noisecreep">{{cite web | last = Wiederhorn | first = Jon | title = Deftones Frontman Excited For Tour, 'Covers' Album, New Side Project | website = [[Noisecreep]] | date = March 30, 2011 | access-date = August 2, 2011 | url = http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/03/30/deftones-chino-moreno-excited-for-tour-covers-album-new-side-pro/}}</ref> Their debut [[EP 1 (Crosses EP)|self-titled EP]] was released on August 2, 2011.

In an August 1998 interview with ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'', Moreno stated "I was one of those kids who thought heavy metal was devil music. I can't say I'm really a metal fan or a [[hip hop]] fan, cause there's so many crappy bands out there. I just like a little bit of everything. I think other people are starting to think that way too."<ref name="spin">{{cite journal|journal=Spin|date=August 1998}}{{full citation needed|date=April 2024|reason=Article? Page number? Author?}}</ref> Regarding the influence of female artists such as [[PJ Harvey]], Moreno said he was aware that people considered him to be [[gay]], adding, "I really love girly stuff."<ref name="spin"/>

In relation to his often ambiguous yet image-heavy poetic lyrics, he said, "[Sometimes] my lyrics don't deal with specific topics. I write down on paper the feelings of the moment, it's not easy to explain the contents of the lyrics or give a logical sense to the words. What I write is also a reaction to the music we make, so the Deftones' sound is not pop, it doesn't communicate happy feelings. Paradoxically my favorite songs of the album talk about love, in a clearly different view."<ref name="yamaha" />
