He made his debut at the age of six, playing drums in the Onward Brass Band, with his great-uncle Paul Barbarin.[1]

In New Orleans, Barbarin performed locally.[1] After Hurricane Katrina severely damaged his home in 2005, he said: "I'm not running from New Orleans. [...] I'm going to stay because I was born and raised here and I'm going to pass away here."[1] He died from prostate cancer on January 30, 2020. He was just 63 years old.[2]
