Travis Barker Biography

Travis Barker is one of the most popular and richest Drummer who was born on November 14, 1975 in Fontana, California, United States. Drummer for the pop punk band Blink-182, which is known for such popular songs as “What’s My Age Again?” and “All the Small Things.” He had a reality TV show titled Meet the Barkers from 2005 to 2006 and many came to recognize him for his heavily-tattooed body and mohawk.

He was a part of Blink-182 with Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus. He and Hoppus later formed the punk rock group +44.

Travis Landon Barker (born November 14, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer, best known as the current drummer for the rock band Blink-182. Barker has also performed as a frequent collaborator with hip hop artists, is a member of the rap rock group Transplants, founded the rock bands +44 and Box Car Racer, and most recently joined Antemasque and Goldfinger. He was a frequent collaborator with the now-late DJ AM, and together they formed TRV$DJAM. Due to his fame, Rolling Stone referred to him as “punk’s first superstar drummer” as well as one of the 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time.

After graduating from Fontana High School, Barker worked as a trash man in Laguna Beach and played with the punk rock bands Snot, and later, Feeble, a Fontana-based band where he met Chad Larson. Larson went on to co-found the ska punk group the Aquabats in 1994. After local shows and demo tapes, the band recruited Barker through Larson’s connection. Barker, who was “sleeping on [his] friend’s couch” and still working as a trash man, only intended to fill-in for a few days but ended up joining the band. The group then went into the studio with veteran producer Jim Goodwin to record The Fury of the Aquabats!. Barker’s speed and accuracy meant that once his parts were recorded he was free to head off and rehearse (and sit in with other bands). He had picked up a nickname with the Aquabats—Baron Von Tito—the reasons for which are lost to history as none of the members recall why.

He was briefly married to Melissa Kennedy from September 2001 to August 2002. He was also married to Shanna Moakler from 2004 until 2008. He has children named Landon and Alabama Luella.
