How Old Is Andy Biersack? Age and Bio

Andy Biersack is 35 years old as of late 2026. He was born on December 29, 1990, which means he turns 36 at the end of the year.

He is the lead singer of the rock band Black Veil Brides and also records solo under the name Andy Black.

Quick facts

Early life

Biersack grew up in Ohio and was drawn to hard rock, glam metal and punk as a teenager. He formed Black Veil Brides in Cincinnati in 2006 with a revolving lineup of friends, and later moved to Los Angeles to chase a music career. The band blended dramatic stagecraft, makeup and 1980s rock influences with modern production.

Black Veil Brides

The band built an early following online, then signed a record deal and released We Stitch These Wounds (2010). They followed with Set the World on Fire (2011), which produced the song “In the End” and “Fallen Angels”. Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones (2013) was a concept album, and the self-titled Black Veil Brides arrived in 2014. Later releases include Vale (2018) and The Phantom Tomorrow (2021). The group’s dedicated fan base, often called the BVB Army, has supported tours around the world.

Solo career as Andy Black

In 2016 Biersack put out his debut solo album The Shadow Side, a darker, more pop-leaning record than his band work. He has said that the project let him explore a different side of his songwriting, and he continued to release further solo and collaborative material.

Acting and other projects

Biersack has also branched into acting, writing and media work alongside his music, and he has appeared in projects about modern rock culture.

Look and image

He is known for dark clothes, black eyeliner and a tattooed look that matches the band’s aesthetic, though his offstage style is more casual. He has also been open in interviews about sobriety, which many fans view as an important part of his story.

Personal life

He keeps his private life largely out of the spotlight, and this profile focuses on his music career.

The BVB sound and look

Black Veil Brides came up at a time when much of rock had turned toward stripped-down, indie styles, and they went the other way. Big choruses, guitar solos, leather, face paint and a theatrical stage show were the point. Critics were divided, but the audience was loyal, and the band’s fans, known as the BVB Army, helped them grow through online communities and relentless touring. Biersack’s role as frontman is central to that image: he writes much of the band’s material and acts as its main spokesman.

The Andy Black records

The Shadow Side (2016) leaned on electronic textures and darker pop hooks, a clear step away from the band’s guitar-driven sound. He followed it with Ribcage (2019), which continued in that more experimental direction. Fans often point to those records as showing a quieter, more introspective side of his writing, and he has said in interviews that having two outlets keeps both projects fresh.

What fans ask

The most common question is how old he is. He was born on December 29, 1990, so he is 35 as of late 2026 and turns 36 at the end of the year. People also ask whether he and the band are still active. Black Veil Brides released The Phantom Tomorrow in 2021, and tour and release news is best followed through the band’s official channels. Another frequent question is about his path from a small Ohio scene to Los Angeles, and the answer is persistence: years of playing small rooms, building an online fan base and releasing music before the major-label deal arrived.
