American Musician. Woolley, a keyboardist, was a member of Nine Inch Nails from 1991 through 1994, when the band released their influential albums 'Broken' and ‘The Downward Spiral’. His tenure with the band began when he replaced Lee Mars for the band's Lollapalooza Tour in 1991, and remained with the group through the recording of 1992's 'Broken' EP and 1994's 'The Downward Spiral'. He also appeared in Nine Inch Nails' 1997 concert film 'Closure', a documentary of the 1994/95 Downward Spiral Tour. In December 1994, midway through the group's Self-Destruct tour, Woolley was replaced on keyboards by Charlie Clouser. Soon after his exit, he won a Best Metal Performance Grammy for Nine Inch Nails' "Happiness in Slavery" off the Woodstock '94 compilation. Following Nine Inch Nails, he worked with Rob Halford's 2wo project as well as his own band, V.O.I.D.
