Indio Falconer Downey

Indio was arrested on June 29, 2014, on charges of cocaine possession. He was arrested in West Hollywood when the Sheriff’s deputies spotted him smoking cocaine inside a vehicle. He was released on bail the next day and was eventually enrolled into a rehab center. His father, Robert Downey Jr., supported him throughout and even told the media that his son might have inherited the addiction as cocaine addiction has a genetic component to it. With the support of his father and friends, Indio managed to overcome his addiction. In March 2016, Robert Downey Jr. congratulated his son on sobriety through a post on his official Facebook page. He even requested his fans to listen to his son’s then latest single ‘Cold Hands.’ Indio draws inspiration from several famous rock bands, such as ‘Led Zeppelin,’ ‘Nirvana,’ ‘The Sword,’ ‘Tame Impala,’ and ‘Queens of the Stone Age.’ He also draws inspiration from his girlfriend, whose name has not yet been disclosed. He spends a lot of his time with his business partner and friend Ralph Alexander.

Indio Falconer Downey was born on September 7, 1993, in Los Angeles, California, USA. Indio had a tough childhood as his mother Deborah Falconer left Robert Downey Jr. when Indio was just eight years old. His parents separated because of his father’s issues with drug addiction.
