The Meteoric Rise To Stardom
Andy Biersack was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to a conservative Catholic family. He was educated at a Catholic elementary school, a part of his traditional American upbringing. Biersack took a keen interest in music from a very young age, following bands like ‘The Damned’ and ‘The Misfits’.
Given his different taste in music, as compared to the norm of the times, Biersack was often the subject of bullying by the elder kids in his school, but nonetheless, he maintained his interest in music and in fact went on to depict the example of this bullying in one of his popular music videos.
Biersack then went on to complete his further training in music at the ‘School for Creative and Performing Arts’ in his hometown of Cincinnati. He went on to proclaim that his training at the school would shape his future and it determined his subsequent move to California, to further advance his career in music. This move proved to be his launching pad into stardom.
As a teenager, Biersack showed his affinity towards forming his own band when he and some of friends started a music group called ‘Biersack’, aptly named after himself. It was this group which would later metamorphose into the publicly known rock band ‘Black Veil Brides’. The band signed on with major record labels in early 2009, and this jettisoned them into the release of their first video ‘Knives and Pens’. This video was to raise awareness about bullying that Biersack had endured back during his school years.
The success of this video ensured that the chart topping album ‘We Stich These Wounds’ was released. The success of this album was phenomenal as it managed to break sales thresholds of more than 13000 copies. The next three years proved to be stellar for the band with the release of two more albums in 2011 and 2013.
The fourth album of the band also was released in 2014. The success of the band made many in the industry get up and take notice. This also proved to be the starting point of Biersack’s solo career when he launched his individual brand under the name ‘Andy Black’.
