He was born on the 9th of June, 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky. He has three siblings: Daniel Depp, Debbie Depp, and Christi Dembrowski.

Johnny Depp dropped out of Miramar High School in 1979 and attempted to return two weeks later. He was advised by the principal to follow his dream of being a musician.

The following year, he joined a band called, The Kids, moving with them to Los Angeles to secure a record deal. The band changed its name to Six Gun Method and was a comprise of wannabe rock-music artists of the early 80s.
