Biography
Travis (full name: Travis Landon Barker) was born in November 14, 1975. He grew up in Fontana, California, which is located in San Bernadino county. He started playing drums when he was four and until he was eight years old when he switched to piano. He got back on drums at eighteen.

He wasn't the first drummer of Blink 182: he joined the band in 1998, after the departure of Scott Raynor, just before the production of "Enema Of The State" (although "Mutt" -track10- was recorded by Scott before leaving the band). But he and the guys knew each other a long time before he ended up playing with them… Travis's first band was called "Feeble" which he left in order to join the "Aquabats", where his stage name was "Travis Baron Von Tito" (his "blink 182" nickname now is "Fuck boy"). He is the most tatooed and pierced band member…(more than 50 tatoos, all done by John Sanchez, for a total of more than 7.000$…). He tried taking up Tatoo drawing because he got bored in high school. He is a huge collector of muscle cars and old bicycles but his "old cadillacs" collection is what he's the most proud of. He runs a website (www.famoussas.com) from which he sells the cloths his "belt an belt buckle" company produces.

He got married in 2001 for 9 months then got divorced from Mellissa (which name he tatooed on the neck). His favourite movie is "True Romance", and his favourite cereal is "Lucky Charms". He also loves leopard prints, and he has a cowboy hat to prove it. Travis may look a little weird to you but he is the most shy person on Earth. He also hates to talk and rarely gives interviews…

He is now married to Shanna Moakler with whom he got engaged at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion in 2003 and married on Halloween Eve 2004. Moakler has a 6 year old daughter Atiana with her ex-fiance Oscar De La Hoya. Whilst already having a 2 year old son, Landon Asher Barker, the barker family recently celebrated the arrival of Alabama Louella Barker, who was born shortly after noon Saturday December 27 2005 at Riverside Calif.
