Born on November 3, 1962, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Kiedis moved to Los Angeles at the age of 12 with his father who was a struggling actor and part-time marijuana dealer.

Since then, Anthony and the band have achieved great success, releasing a string of hit albums and being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 in their year first year of eligibility. Having turned 50 in 2012, Anthony continues to tour the world with the Red Hot Chili Peppers today.
