Early Life and Family
Cerati was born on 11 August 1959 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He grew up in a middle class household; his paternal family was of Lombard descent and his maternal family was of Irish origin. His father was an accountant and regularly traveled abroad. From his early memories he had an idyllic love of the sun and nature. Cerati’s first passion was art and in elementary school he drew comics and created his own comic book characters.
By the age of 13, he formed a trio and started playing at house parties and in the local Catholic school, where he eventually joined the choir.Cerati was a good student until his third year of junior high school when he met a fellow student who, like himself, was into rock and roll.

After his divorce from Cecilia Amenábar, Cerati dated the Argentine model Deborah del Corral,ex-girlfriend of Soda Stereo drummer Charly Alberti in the 1990s. She also sang in Alberti’s side project Plum.In 2008 Cerati started dating the Argentine actress Leonora Balcarce. While they broke up in late 2009, she remained friendly with him and his family, visiting his bedside throughout his coma.
