Biography

Thorne Baker was born on June 20, 2001 in Humboldt County, California. Thorne started making music in 2012 at a young age when he was introduced to the ukulele and he started experimenting with the instrument. Before becoming Teenage Disaster, he released a few songs going by the name Thorne. The Soundcloud page for Thorne is still up and able to view with various tracks on it.

Music

Teenage Disaster got his first big exposure for his collaboration on the song Somniphobia with fellow artist Afourteen. The two would later go on to create a musical duo called Grekom while still both having their own solo careers. This would be Thorne's second duo (being part of Cemetery Boys) and lead into him joining his third group being Spider Gang in November 2020. Whilst still being active with Grekom and Cemetery Boys, he decided to leave Spider Gang in June 2022 after being signed to Atlantic Records and not being able to balance his own music and being in such a large group. In 2022 Teenage Disaster released his first album titled "CREEP" and as of September 2025 is in the process of making a second album "Smile".

Game Development and Acting

Baker created the game Maple County for Itch.io in 2021 for the analog horror franchise The Mandela Catalogue. Popular YouTubers such as Markiplier and Jacksepticeye saw and highly rated the game, bringing it to the attention of series creator Alex Kister. Kister was so impressed that he offered Thorne a leading role in the show as Thatcher Davis, a police officer exploring the bizarre nature of the anomalies in the universe.

The Mandela Catalogue gave Thorne a big spike in popularity, leading to voice acting collaborations for people such as Pyrocynical and Cabin Tales. He has expressed interest and shown clips of a new game he is making, however as of September 2025 there has been no release despite being teased as early as 2023.
