Zak Starkey born on 13 September 1965 at Queen Charlotte's Maternity Hospital in London to drummer Ringo Starr (real name Richard Starkey) and Maureen Starkey (nee Cox). Ringo and Maureen leave hospital with baby Zak to a waiting media Zak received his first drum kit from his father, although it is mistakenly reported that it was given to him by his idol, The Who's Keith Moon, Moon did, however, give Zak his first professional kit – one Moon previously used with The Who - and also some drumming lessons. A young Starkey with Keith Moon. At the age of eight, Starkey became interested in music. At ten, he started teaching himself how to play drums after receiving only one lesson from his famous father, who reportedly did not want him following in his footsteps. Although Ringo praises his son's undeniable skills and talent, he said that he "always regarded Zak as a lawyer or as a doctor", not a drummer like himself. By the age of 12, Starkey was already performing in pubs with a band. In his teens, Starkey was a member of a garage act, the Next. He eventually landed work with a re-formed Spencer Davis Group. In 1985, shortly after getting married, Starkey released a musical version of Wind in the Willows with Eddie Hardin. In 1985, both he and his father Ringo Starr played drums on the recording Sun City by Artists United Against Apartheid. In 1988, Starkey replaced Chris Sharrock as the drummer in The Icicle Works. He left the band in 1989, and did not appear on any Icicle Works recordings, although a B-side later issued by Icicle Works leader Ian McNabb featured Starkey on drums, and is presumed to actually date from Starkey's tenure with the group. Zak played on Silver and Gold a solo album released by Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith in 1989. In 1996, Starkey left his band Face, to fulfill a childhood dream of joining The Who. He has received very good reviews in this role for being a strong drumming presence but without explicitly imitating Moon. Zak has been the full-time drummer for The Who since their 1996 Quadrophenia Tour.

Starkey participated in every show on Oasis' 2005/2006 world tour and also appeared in the promo videos for the singles. However, as he isn't an official member of the band yet, he very rarely appeared with the rest of the band in promotional activities such as interviews and photo shoots.
