When he was eight years old, he joined a church choir and enjoyed singing “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” with them. He knew he would sing the song for the rest of his life while singing it.
Kid Wikkid‘s members were based in Peterborough, Ontario. Bach, who was 14 at the time, auditioned for the band after hearing about it and not knowing their ages, and was hired by guitarist and bandleader Jason Delorme. Bach’s father eventually permitted Bach to move in with an aunt after Kid Wikkid returned to Toronto.
Skid Row’s first two albums, Skid Row (1989) and Slave to the Grind (1991) were certified multi-platinum in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the latter reaching number one on the Billboard 200. Subhuman Race, the band’s third album, was similarly a critical success.
Bach was chastised in 1991 for playing while wearing a T-shirt that stated “AIDS Kills Fags Dead.” He later stated that he wore it without first reading it since it was given to him by a fan.
Bach began appearing in Broadway plays in the year 2000. In April 2000, he made his Broadway debut in Jekyll & Hyde, playing the title role(s). In 2001, he played Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Show.
Bach underwent “singing-related” hernia surgery on July 13, 2017. After a month, he began to feel better and claimed that the operation was necessary since he “actually screamed guts out.”
