Zack de la Rocha was born in 1970 in Long Beach. His parents splitted up when he was 1; Then he lived at his mothers place. First he visited his father during the weekend, but his father was very religious (he wasn't allowed to eat anything, during the weekend cause of the holy Bibel, his Father thought). He couldn't do that, so he decided to rest at his real home. During the school he was well known, in scenes like punk rock, and heavy metal. He sang in a band named "Hardstance".
A few years later, as he started freestyle rapping in clubs he met Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford. That was the foundation of "RATM"
