Rick Genest was born on 7th August 1985 in Quebec, Canada. By the time he was 17 he had become fully engrossed into the punk rock scene, and lived on the streets. He and his friends would sleep under bridges, squat in empty houses and generally live a chaotic and care free life - washing cars to earn enough money to get by. When he turned 21 he met a tattoo artist called Frank Lewis.
According to Rico, Lewis was the mastermind behind the skeletal motif - a skeleton body suit complete with bugs, cobwebs, barbed wire, rotting flesh and tendons. Zombie Boy spent the next few years touring the world appearing at events, performing on stage, DJing, filming music videos, appearing in TV shows and films, as well as walking cat walks at fashion shows. However his career was unfortunately cut short.
On 1st August 2018, Rick Genest was found dead outside his apartment complex, six days before his 33rd birthday after falling from his 4th floor balcony and landing on the pavement below.
