He grew up around painters, writers, artists, singers, and actors, who in the long run inspired him to act and sing as well. His first musical instrument was a broken piano, which he began to play at a very young age.
Jared dropped out of school in the 10th grade but later continued his studies at Emerson Preparatory School in Washington D.C. He studied at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia before moving to the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where he became interested in filmmaking. As a student, Jared Leto wrote a short film, Crying Joy, in which he also played the leading role.
