He starred in the MTV reality series *Meet the Barkers*, released his debut solo album *Give the Drummer Some* in 2011 following his recovery from a 2008 plane crash, and published the memoir *Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums* in 2015. Off-stage, Barker founded the clothing company Famous Stars and Straps in 1999, launched LaSalle Records in 2004 and DTA Records in 2019, and co-designed products with DC Shoes and Zildjian cymbals. A vegan activist, he has invested in the Los Angeles restaurant Crossroads Kitchen.
