His mother worked as a model.\n\nBanhart's given name is a synonym for Hindu god Indra, suggested by Indian religious leader Prem Rawat (whom Banhart's parents followed), and his middle name Obi takes after Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Star Wars character.\n\nHis parents divorced in 1983, after which Rísquez and he moved to Caracas, Venezuela. Rísquez later remarried and when Banhart was age 14, his stepfather moved the family to Los Angeles, California.\n\nIn 1998, Banhart began studying at the San Francisco Art Institute on a scholarship while living in The Castro, San Francisco's \"gay\" district, though he would often busk instead of attending class.\n\nHe played his first musical show in a church at a gay wedding, performing Elvis Presley's \"Love Me Tender\" and the hymn \"How Great Thou Art.\" https://tinyurl.com/yb5urbvy","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
