Baril was born and raised in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. His first instrument was a second-hand electric guitar, bought with savings from his paper route. His first band, The Spitfires, practiced in a laundry room where the washing machine washer and clothes dryer were part of their rhythm section. As a young adult, he traveled around the world for 5 years, and after a trip to Australia and South Asia that left him penniless, he landed in Vancouver in 1989 and followed a passion to study music. He was self-taught up until the time he obtained a diploma from the Vancouver Community College in Jazz guitar and Composition. He then pursued and received a bachelor's degree from the School of Music of the University of British Columbia in 1996.
