Indio’s parents had been married for nine years before their separation in 2001 – they dated for 43 days before marrying in 1992.
After their official divorce in 2004, his father remarried to author Suzan Levin in August 2005 – some of Suzan’s best works include “The Book of Eli (2010) and 2009’s “Sherlock Holmes”).

Indio played his first role in a movie at the age of 12, when he assumed the younger version of the protagonist in 2005’s “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” black comedy film, appearing in the show with his dad.
Later on, he decided to focus more on his passion – music – which got him credited for his contribution to the additional music in the film “Jackie” (2012). Indio afterwards played the lead role in the “Play of Consciousness,” a film directed by the famed Adam Michardi.
The beginning of Indio’s career as a musician was really marked when he joined The Seems, a music band based in Los Angeles, as a vocalist and guitarist. He did not make maximum use of the opportunity, however, as he began struggling with addiction issues shortly after joining the band.
Nonetheless, he overcame the addiction and reinvented his music passion, and even partnered with Ralph Alexander in 2016 to create The Dose band, which released several singles such as “Adore,” “True Lies Inside,” “Space Trader,” “Cold Hands,” and “Glory.”

In June 2014, the rock band guitarist and vocalist was arrested and charged with the possession and use of cocaine, after a West Hollywood deputy sheriff spotted him in his car, smoking the drug. He was taken in but released on bail the following day. Following this incident, Falconer was taken to a rehab center, and received strong support from his father who disclosed to the media that his son’s addiction was probably inherited from him, since cocaine addiction comes with a genetic component.
