- Dominic probably has music in his blood. His grandfather, Rick Harrison, performed with a famous psychedelic folk band T-Rex in the 1970s.
- He started playing the guitar at around 8 and also learned how to play the piano and drums. “I’m not a guitar player. I can just write”, he says. “I can create shit, but I’m not gonna go f–king play with Foo Fighters”.
- At school Dominic was “a bit naughty”, as he said what he meant (and hasn’t changed since). He dropped out at 16 and moved to London to “pursue a career as a rock’n’roll star”, as he puts it.
- YUNGBLUD studied theater at Arts Educational Schools, independent performing arts school based in Chiswick, London. He acted, sang, danced, drew. Check out his Wikipedia Fact Check video below.
