Kiedis and his colleagues were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Kiedis spent his youth in Grand Rapids, Michigan with his mother, and then moved shortly before his twelfth birthday to live with his father in Hollywood. While at Fairfax High School, Kiedis befriended students Michael Balzari (later known as Bloch) and Hillel Slovak, who were members of a group called Anthym. After graduating from high school, Kiedis began taking lessons at UCLA, but dropped out of his sophomore year. When Kiedis received an offer to become an opening for a local band, he recruited Bloch, Slovak and drummer Jack Eyrose. After a show called Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem, the band progressed, and the line-up eventually became the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He has recorded eleven studio albums with Red Hot Chili Peppers. Kiedis' lyrical style has evolved throughout his career; early entries discussed topics such as sex and life in Los Angeles, while later songs focused on more reflexive topics, including love, addiction and loss. His vocal style has shifted from rap to more traditional singing. He struggled with drug addiction until 2000, and has remained drug-free ever since. Early life Kiedis was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Margaret Peggy Noble and struggling actor John Michael Kiedis, known professionally as Blackie Dummett. His paternal grandfather's family emigrated from Lithuania in the early 1900s; his other ancestors include Irish, English, French and Dutch. In 1966, when Kidis was three years old, his parents divorced and he was raised by his mother in Grand Rapids. His mother later remarried and had two more children. Every summer, Kiedis was introduced to his father in Hollywood for two weeks, during which they were tied up. He idolized his father and recalled, These trips to California were the happiest, happiest, most beautiful oysters I have ever experienced. In 1974, when Kidis was 12 years old, he moved to Hollywood to live with his father full-time. Kiedis' father sold drugs that affected Kiedis because they often used marijuana and cocaine Kiedis accidentally tried for the first time at the age of 14, mistaking him for cocaine. Thanks to his father, Kidis, who worked under the stage name Cole Dummett, he got his first acting role as the son of sylvester Stallone's character in the 1978 film F.I.S.T. He landed two more acting jobs, in the ABC Afterschool Special and appearance in the movie Jokes My People Never Told Me. However, he soon met his future bandmate Bloch, and after a brief confrontation they became best friends and connected with each other, sitting next to each other in the driver's class. We became almost inseparable. We were both social outcasts. We found each other, and it turned out to be the longest friendship of my life. Kiedis had a significant influence on Bloch, exposing him to rock music, especially punk rock. At the age of 15, when Kiedis and Flea were jumping from the building into the pool, Kiedis missed the pool and broke his back, but recovered. At the age of 15, Kiedis met his future bandmate Hillel Slovak after seeing him perform with his band Anthym. After the show, the Slovak invited Kiedis to his home for a snack. Kiedis later described this experience: Within minutes of hanging out with Hillel, I felt that it was completely different from most people I spent time with... He understood a lot in music, he was a great visual artist, and he had a sense of self and calmness towards him, which was just exciting. Slovak, Kiedis and Bloch often used LSD, heroin, cocaine and speed in recreational areas. Kiedis excelled at school, often receiving direct grades A. In June 1980, Kiedis graduated with honors from high school. In August of that year, he enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles to study writing. After Kiedis began working with Bloch and drummer Jack Eyroules, he was described as a man of ceremonies before he began singing for the band. The Ayrrons and the Slovak began playing together in high school, performing in a band called Chain Reaction. The band included bassist Tom Strasman and Chilean-born vocalist Alain Johannes. When Strasman became a lawyer, he left the group to maintain his grades and focus on college. At this point, Flea was brought into the mix. Shortly after meeting with the band and participating in several shows, Kidis was offered a position in the band from Flea. He started out as an advertising man, leaving in front of a group blurring jokes for the audience and getting them pumped. Red Hot Chili Peppers 1983-1984: Formation and the first album by Kiedis, performing with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Philadelphia in 1983, and Bloch began to create his own music after finding inspiration in a punk-funk fusion band called Defunkt. Kiedis rejected the violence and misogyny associated with the Los Angeles punk rock scene at the time, and wanted to create a more peaceful environment that encouraged women to come to concerts. They formed a band with former Anthym drummer Jack Ayr, tony Flow and The Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem. The band had only one song called Out in L.A. and was formed to play the song once. The song was based on a guitar riff that the Slovak wrote while jamming with the Irons, and wasn't supposed to be a real song until Kiedis decided to rap over the music. Mike Chester, a friend of Kiedis, invited the band to open up for their act Mike and Neighbor's Voices at The Rhythm Lounge, as he felt that Kiedis had potential as a frontman. Slovaks and Bloch were initially skeptical, and felt that Kidis lacked vocal experience, but they eventually agreed to perform. Kiedis later described the play: All the anticipation of the moment struck me, and I instinctively knew that the miracle of manipulating energy and using an infinite source of power and using it in a small space with friends was what I was put on this earth to do. After the band's first show in The Rhythm Lounge, the bar owner asked them to come back, but with two songs instead of one. After several shows, and the addition of several songs to their repertoire, the band's name was changed to Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band's concert repertoire grew to ten songs as a result of months of games in local nightclubs and bars. During a performance at a strip club in Hollywood called Kit Kat Club, the band members performed in socks on penises, the idea was formed by Kiedis. This has gained notoriety from the group, and the club owners have even started booking the band on the condition that they perform in this way. The Red Hot Chili Peppers entered Bijou Studios to record a demo tape and then signed a contract with EMI. Irons and Slovak, however, decided to leave Red Hot Chili Peppers to pursue a more serious future with their band Anthym, which by this time had been renamed What Is This? Kiedis ultimately respected the decision, but felt the group would be lost without them. Kiedis and Bloch hired drummer Cliff Martinez of The Weirdos and guitarist Jack Sherman to fill Iron's and Slovak's seats, respectively. Andy Gill, formerly of Gang of Four, agreed to release his first album, The Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1984. Jill and Sherman clashed with Kiedis and Bloch; they were constantly arguing about the musical style, sound and production of the album. Sherman was fired from the band after the tour and replaced by a return 1985-1988: Freaky Styley, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan and the death of Slovak funk musician George Clinton were hired to produce the band's second album, Freaky Styley, when the Slovak returned to guitar. The strong chemistry between Clinton and Chili Peppers was felt instantly. Freaky Styley was released in August 1985. It received only a little more attention than the Red Hot Chili Peppers with approximately 75,000 copies sold by the end of the year. The band hired Michael Beinhorn, their last resort among potential producers, to work on their next album. What's it? finally broke up, and Ayres returned to the Chili Peppers in mid-1986 after Martinez's dismissal. Flea, Slovak and Kiedis were particularly involved in heavy drug use, and their relationship became strained. Flea recalled that it began to seem ugly to me, not fun; our communication was not healthy. Kiedis became addicted to heroin, leaving Bloch and Slovak to work on much of the album's material on their own. Both Kiedis and the Slovak struggled with a debilitating heroin addiction that got worse as the band prepared to record the Uplift Mofo Party Plan. Because of his addiction, Kiedis lacked the motivation to contribute to the band musically, and appeared at rehearsals literally asleep.
