Biography
Jean-Pierre Barda was born in Paris, France. His father was of Algerian Jewish origin. When he was seven, he moved to Sweden with his family, settling in Stockholm.[1][2] Barda immigrated to Israel in 2015. He currently lives in Tel Aviv.[1][3] He has been openly gay since he came out at age 16. His parents kicked him out for his sexuality, and he did not have contact with them for 15 years after.[1]
Music and acting career
Barda started out working with Alexander Bard as a part of the music group Barbie. He initially called himself Farouk, but reverted to his real name when Barbie later evolved into the group Army of Lovers. Barda has been with the group throughout all of its incarnations.
In 2004, Barda considered joining a new band called Bodies Without Organs. This did not come to fruition, and Barda's explicit involvement extended only as far as co-writing BWO's first single "Living in a Fantasy".
Barda is also known as a hair-dresser and make-up artist. He has starred in movies, television and photo shoots.
