Early life

Born Alfred Matthew Yankovich, he was born on October 23, 1959, in Downey, California. His father, a recipient of two Purple Hearts for his service as a medic in World War II, was of Serbian descent and had moved to California.

Just before Alfred’s sixth birthday, his parents enrolled him in a nearby music school. Alfred honed his accordion skills there. After a school salesman came to their home to sell music education, Alfred’s parents decided to enroll him in accordion lessons.

It was about the guitar because they believed it would change rock music. Al finally took music lessons when he was seven years old. Then he discovered rock music and became passionate about it.

His favorite musicians include Elton John, Allan Sherman, and Spike Jones. He graduated from Lynwood High School, where he was valedictorian in 1975. He earned a degree in architecture from California Polytechnic University.

Career

In 2006, nearly three decades into his career, he released his first Billboard Top 10 album (Straight Outta Lynwood) and song (“White & Nerdy”). His most recent album, “Mandatory Fun,” debuted at number one for the first time.

Yankovic’s success stems in part from his ability to effectively satirize pop culture through music videos. With the demise of music television and the rise of social media, he began uploading his videos to YouTube and other video sites.
