Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong’s fascination with music began at a young age. His father, a jazz musician, gave him his first guitar, and thus his musical journey began. Along with childhood friend Mike Dirnt, they founded the band Green Day. Their rock opera American Idiot won them several awards and became Green Day’s most famous hit. He has written music for singers such as Penelope Houston and bands such as Rancid. He diversified into investments and became the co-owner of Adeline Records.

Talking about his personal life, Billie is married to Adrienne Nesser and is the father of Joseph Marciano and Jakob Danger. Jakob goes by the stage name Jakob Danger, while Joey is also a musician who plays drums in the band SWMRS. Even though they followed in their father’s footsteps, Joey and Jakob claim that they do not sound like their father’s pop-punk band.
