At the age of 4, his mother gifted him his first drum kit, igniting his lifelong passion for drumming. His early education in drumming started at 5 with Michael Mai (drummer) who taught him many styles of drumming.
He is a professional surfer and skateboarder but he love the drumming so he went back to drums. During his time at Fontana High School, Barker adopted the drum set in the jazz and snare drum in the marching band. He polished his skills through performances at regional competitions and festivals, developing a strong affinity for hip-hop and punk rock rhythms.
