Travis Barker, full name Travis Landon Barker, was born in Fontana, California, on November 14, 1975. He grew up in Fontana with his mother Gloria Barker, who worked as a babysitter, and his father Randy Barker, a mechanic. He also has two older sisters.

Barker began taking drum lessons at five with a drummer named Michael Mai, who exposed him to a variety of playing styles.

Barker began taking trumpet lessons about the same time. He learned to play piano in junior high school and attempted singing briefly before joining the madrigals men and women’s choir.

Early Life

Travis Landon Barker was born in Fontana, California, on November 14, 1975, and grew up with his parents and two elder sisters.

Barker has had an interest in drumming since he was a child, and his mother Gloria encouraged him by purchasing a drum kit for him when he was only four years old and enrolling him in drum lessons at five.

Travis’ early years were spent immersed in music, as he received trumpet lessons and learned to play piano at a young age.

Despite his interest in music, Barker also attended formal school; even though, his mother who is his great supporter died of Sjögren syndrome just before his first day in high school

Not with standing his mother’s death, Travis was a self-described stoner who played drums in the marching band and jazz ensemble while attending school.

Barker also had non-musical ambitions, since he wanted to be a professional surfer and skateboarder, but Baker claims he can’t live without his drum because it was the only direction in which he felt linked and understood.

While at Fontana High School, Barker played the drum set in the jazz ensemble and the snare drum in the marching band, gaining a lot of experience performing at regional competitions and festivals displaying a variety of styles including military and jazz rhythms.

Career

Barker played in the band’s Snot and Feeble after high school, and later joined the Aquabats, a ska-punk band founded by Feeble bandmate Chad Larson in 1996. That same year, Travis recorded one album with the Aquabats, and the band went on tour with Blink-182. When Blink-182’s drummer left the band, Barker filled in for him and eventually became the band’s permanent drummer.

“Enema of the State,” Barker’s first album with Blink-182, was released in June 1999, and the band, as well as other singles such as “All the Small Things,” “What’s My Age Again?” and “Adam’s Song,” catapulted to prominence, with the video winning an MTV Video Music Award in 2000.

In the fall of 1999, the band embarked on an arena tour, but Travis had to cancel several dates because of a broken finger. Barker released five more albums with Blink-182: “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket,” “Blink-182,” “Neighborhoods,” “California,” and “Nine” in the following years.

Aside from his musical ambitions, he owns ‘Famous Stars and Straps,’ a clothing and accessories firm, ‘LaSalle Records,’ and a restaurant in California called ‘Wahoo’s Fish Taco.’

In 2005 and 2006, the family appeared in the reality show “Meet the Barkers,” which aired 16 episodes.
