Early Life and Education

Travis Landon Barker was born on November 14, 1975 in Fontana, California. He grew up in the family of his mother Gloria (Babysitter), his father Randy (Mechanic), and two older sisters.

His mother gave him a drum kit when he was just 4 years old. He started taking drum lessons the following year. In Junior high, he messed around with the piano, learned to play the trumpet, and even sang a choir.

Travis dreamed of being a skater or pro surfer, but soon he realized that drums were his jam for expressing himself.

Sadly, his mother died from Sjögren syndrome right before he went to high school. In the marching band and Jazz ensemble, Travis played drums and he was a self-proclaimed stoner.

Career

Travis played in some bands named Snot and Feeble after he finished his high school. He joined the Aquabats later in 1996, a ska group started by his Feeble friend Chad Larson.

Travis did one album with the Aquabats, and they went on a tour with Blink-182. When Blink-182’s drummer left, Travis became permanent member of this band after filling his position in 1998.

In June 1999, Blink-182 released Travis first album named “Enema of the State”. The band rose to fame, thanks to hit albums like “All the Small Thins,” “What’s My Age Again?” and “Adam’s Song.”

“All the Small Things” got #1 position on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and #6 position on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2000, his music video won MTV Video Music Award. The band did an arena tour later in ’99, but Travis had to skip some dates because he broke his finger.

Travis Barker didn’t stop there. He released many albums with Blink-182 like “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket” in 2001, “Blink-182” in 2003, “Neighborhoods” in 2011, “California” in 2016, and “Nine” in 2019, Rock on man!

Travis joined hands with Transplants in 2002, a cool rock/rap super group formed by Tim Armstrong from Rancid. Travis did four albums with them. He released his solo album in 2011 named “Give the Drummer Some.”

All members of the band were on a famous reality show “Meet the Barkers,” which broadcasted 16 episodes in the year 2005 and 2006. But, sadly, Travis and Shanna left it in 2008.

Things got messy in 2014, when Travis and Shanna both arrested after the police showed up at their shared home.

Travis allegedly threatened Kill Moakler and Shanna threatened to beat Travis up by his boyfriend. Yikes, that’s tough time!

In February 2016, Travis Barker went to legal team and asked to reduce his child support from $19,000 to $2,900 per month. He gave a reason that his monthly earnings went down from $2 million dollars to $600,000.

He started running and swimming after leaving the hospital. Additionally, he started taking vegan diet. Since his teen years, he used to be a vegetarian, but he had to eat meat to help heal faster when he was in the hospital. Life is full of twists, right?
