Bam Margera

Born on September 28, 1979, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, Brandon "Bam" Margera grew up as the youngest child of April and Phil Margera. While his brother Jess is known as the drummer of the band called CKY, Bam's nickname was given by his grandfather as "Bam Bam" after he bumped into walls when he was three years old; When he started school, his name was shortened to just "Bam". On October 24, 2007, he officially turned this nickname into his surname.

During his teenage years, he was a part of the video series "CKY" (Camp Kill Yourself) with his friends and family and shot various episodes from CKY1 to CKY4; This series also included names such as RyanDunn, BrandonDiCamillo, RakeYohn, ChrisRaab and BrandonNovak. When CKY's success caught the attention of Jeff Tremaine, Bam and Ryan began appearing in Jackass movies and TV series.

Then, he broadcast the program "VivaLaBam" on MTV with his mother Ape, father Phil and uncle Vincent (DonVito) between 2003 and 2005. In 2003, he took on acting and co-screenwriting duties on the set of the movie "Haggard", and in 2005 he expanded the project with a two-part CD called "VivaLaBam:VivaLaSpringBreak". Announcing his engagement to Melissa Rothstein in 2007, Bam took his wedding preparations to a single-season MTV program called "Bam'sUnholyUnion"; the same year, “WhereTheFuckIsSanta?” He took part in the movie called VilleValo, KatVonD and many professional skateboarders.

The projects "NitroCircus" in 2009 and the one-episode "Bam'sWorldDomination", shot in England in 2010, were also added to his career.

While he has been performing in the skateboarding world as a member of the Element team since 2003, brands such as SpeedMetalBearings, AdioFootwear and Fairman'sSkateshop are also his sponsors. These supports enabled Bam to continue both his tours and video projects energetically.

Margera also stepped into the media field by launching the radio program "RadioBam" in 2004. He shot many music videos for the CKY group and served as the visual manager of bands such as VikingSkull, VainsofJenna, Clutch and Turbonegro. He directed the videos for the songs "BuriedAliveByLove", "TheSacrament", "AndLoveSaidNo" and "SolitaryMan" for HIM, and the videos for The69Eyes' "DeadGirlsareEasy" and "DeadNGone".

He also performs with BrandonDiCamillo, JessMargera, RichVose and MattCole in the band Gnarkill; He also appears as an animated character in games of the TonyHawk series such as "ProSkaters" and "AmericanWasteland".
