He is the adopted son of the late Linkin Park frontman, Chester Bennington. Prior to gaining recognition, he was born during a time when his father was still married to Samantha Bennington, a life coach and entrepreneur. His mother, Elka Brand, has played an important role in his life. In addition to his brother Jamie, he also grew up with four adopted siblings—Tyler, Draven, Lila, and Lily—making for a close-knit and unique family dynamic.
Even though it had been several years since his mother had been with her father, Chester decided to adopt him back in 2006.
