Early Life and Background

Raised on his family’s farm in Frohna, Barber’s early years were deeply rooted in athletics. He devoted much of his childhood to sports, learning valuable lessons in teamwork, discipline, and hard work. Music was not a prominent part of his early life; he did not participate in music classes or performances during his school years. It wasn’t until he discovered his great-grandfather’s guitar at the age of 16 that he developed an interest in music. This newfound passion led him to teach himself to play the guitar and experiment with songwriting.
