Ty Segall: Biography
Born on the 8th of June, 1987 in Laguna Beach, California, and named Ty Garrett Segall, the prolific musician is of American nationality and belongs to the Caucasian ethnicity. Nothing is known about his birth parents but he was raised by a lawyer and his artist wife who adopted him in infancy.
Segall was a very active child growing up. While he did not indicate an interest in music until later in high school, he would have fared well as a surfer had he continued in the sports. He began surfing at the age of ten but changed his focus to music as a means of escape in his teenage years. Ty Segall describes his teenage self as emotionally unstable and calls himself a very existential eighteen-year-old drinker for whom music served a cathartic effect for his instability.
Ty Segall attended Laguna Beach High School and is an alumnus of the University of San Francisco where he earned a degree in Media Studies. Following his graduation, he worked eight months constructing grow boxes for cannabis plants but focused entirely on his musical career afterwards.
His Career
