Early life
Music
He sang backing vocals on both Dweezil Zappa's album Confessions and the Danger Danger album, Screw It!, along with his Extreme bandmates Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt. He has also sung back-up on a live version of the Van Halen song, "When It's Love" on Sammy Hagar's live album, Live: Hallelujah, on which Cherone sang co-lead vocals with Hagar.[3]
In 2013, Badger initiated a PledgeMusic campaign.[4] This helped him release his first solo record, Time Will Tell. By offering exclusive content to listeners who pledged and providing updates related to the project to his following, the campaign reached its goal and the record entitled Time Will Tell was released in late 2014.[5] In 2016 he followed up with another successful PledgeMusic campaign for his second solo album Take What We Want (under the name Nasty Ass Honey Badgers).[6]
In 2017, affected by the death of Glenn Frey, Badger formed Dark Desert Eagles, a tribute to the Eagles.[7] The original lineup of the band featured Extreme drummer Kevin Figueiredo.[8]
