Edward Barát was born on October 31, 1989 in Lafayette, Indiana. His family relocated to a small apartment on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California and are of Dutch, French and Irish origin. His mother therapist and his father was a construction worker. Edward was always interested in performing from an early age, often taking part in school plays and performing at various local talent competitions from the age of 6. He has 2 sisters and 1 brother all of which have had an interest in performing but it was Edward whose star rose the highest in the Barát household. He never learned to play instruments and instead developed his showmanship qualities.
His father abandoned the family when Edward was 8 years old. Once he started to get older he started to lose his way a little bit, from the age of 12 he started to skip school with friends and often caused problems for the locals in his neighbourhood. He didn’t enjoy school and says that he just didn’t fit in, he didn’t enjoy being told what to do and decided to leave school at 16.
He continued to lose sight of things as he fell out with his parents very often and at the age of 16 he decided to leave home and move into a friends extremely small one bedroom apartment, his friend happened to be a drug dealer.
He began various bands and played regularly in the local area’s but none of the bands ever lasted long, he continued to perform with various bands but he never found anything that fit.”
He has never worked a normal job and has decided to try to make it as a solo artist, he is currently unsigned and his unpredictability and his excessiveness could be something that has put labels off from signing him in the past.
His image is quite clearly influenced by the Glam Metal period of the 70’s and 80’s. His influences include Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and The Doors but has stated that modern acts like Miss Vanity, Infinite, Mind, Reckoner and Glamazon are huge influences.
