[edit] Early life

Pepper was born in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. He spent much of his early life traveling the world in a homemade ship. When Barry was five years old, the family set sail. Pepper and his family navigated through the South Pacific islands for five years.^[1] His education was completed in both public schools and correspondence courses. Due to the lack of television as entertainment, the family used sketch acting as a means of fun. When the family had finished their travels, they returned to Canada and set up a shop on Denman Island off Vancouver Island.

He appeared in the Jagged Edge music video "Goodbye".
