Bo Burnham

Bo Burnham (real name Robert Pickering Burnham) was born in Hamilton, Mass. His birthday is Aug. 21, 1990, and his height is 6'5". He attended high school at St. John's Preparatory School in Danver, Mass., where he was in the theater program. His career started after he wrote and performed parody songs that he uploaded to YouTube in 2006, and his visual for "My Whole Family" quickly went viral. He released 'Bo Fo Sho,' his first comedy EP, in 2008, and it cracked the Billboard 200 at No. 123. The comedian-singer's subsequent albums climbed higher on the all-genre tally, with 2009's live album 'Bo Burnham' reaching No. 105, 2010's 'Words Words Words' peaking at No. 40, and 'Inside (The Songs)' -- the soundtrack to his Netflix comedy special 'Inside' -- breaking into the top 10 at No. 7. He won the 2022 Grammy for best song written for visual media with "All Eyes On Me" from 'Inside,' with the program also receiving a nod for best music film.
