Landon Barker, the 20-year-old son of Blink-182’s iconic drummer Travis Barker, is stepping onto the musical stage, and his father couldn’t be more delighted to stand by his side.
In a recent interview with People Magazine, Travis Barker, the 47-year-old veteran punk rock drummer, shared his profound pride in collaborating with his musically gifted son, Landon.
“It was amazing getting to work with Landon,” Travis expressed to People. He went on to celebrate Landon’s musical journey, highlighting how he has observed his son’s musical talents and songwriting skills flourish since a young age. For Travis, seeing Landon’s musical aspirations come to fruition is a dream realized.
Landon Barker’s budding music career recently included a significant milestone – the release of his single “Friends With Your Ex,” in which his girlfriend, TikTok sensation Charli D’Amelio, was featured. Travis Barker played a pivotal role in the project, contributing not only his drumming talents but also overseeing its production through his record label, DTA Records.
This collaboration isn’t the first time the father-son duo has joined forces in the realm of music. Landon had the distinct privilege of opening for Blink-182 during one of their sold-out Los Angeles shows earlier this summer, providing further evidence of his musical prowess.
Landon Barker acknowledges the invaluable resources at his disposal, primarily due to his father’s extensive experience in the music industry. He holds his father’s guidance and feedback in high regard, understanding that his father’s stamp of approval is pivotal. Landon makes it clear that he wouldn’t release a song that doesn’t meet his father’s standards, both in terms of quality and Travis’s willingness to contribute his drumming expertise.
In addition to his father’s support, Landon enjoys the endorsement of his step-mother, Kourtney Kardashian, who actively promotes his music on her social media platforms. This blend of familial encouragement and emerging musical talent paints a promising picture for Landon Barker’s musical journey as he follows in his father’s illustrious footsteps.
