Bowie David (David Bowie), full name David Robert Jones, composer, artist, vocalist, producer, songwriter, actor was born on January 8, 1947 in London, UK. His father, Hayward Stanton “John” Jones, an official at the Barnardo’s charity foundation, and his mother, Margaret Mary “Peggy” Jones, worked as a ticketer in a movie theater.
When David Bowie was six years old, the Jones family moved from Brixton to a suburb of Kent, where David attended Burnt Ash Junior School, made friends and played on the school's football team.
David’s love of music began at the age of 9, after his father brought a collection of records, and the boy was shocked after listening to them.
At the age of 15 over a fight with his friend George Underwood, who stabbed Bowie in the left eye, the teenager did not attend school. Many operations were performed, but it was not possible to completely cure the eye, and although vision remained, color perception was lost.
David Bowie formed his first band, The Konrads, in 1962. Then I worked with many musical groups. In 1964, he released his first song with The King Bees, Liza Jane. At that time, the work of David Bowie was subordinated to the “style of the great Elvis.”
Bowie released his first album in 1967, with the uncomplicated title David Bowie. This album contained a mixture of music hall, pop music and psychedelia. But the album was not a success for the audience. For the next two years, David did not record a single song.
And only in 1969, the fame was visited by the musician – his ballad “Space Oddity” falls into the top five UK hits. After the release of the composition, Bowie again disappears from the music charts. And only in 1972 he appears in a new image, with a new composition “Starman”, which confidently leads the chart.
Then (in 1975), after the release of the single "Fame" (from the album "Young Americans"), which was written by David Bowie together with the band.
John Lennon Bowie also receives recognition from American listeners.
In 1977, the first album from Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, Low, was released, the remaining two albums were released over the next two years.
In 1980, Bowie again climbed to the top of the charts with the single "Ashes to Ashes". Then comes the collaboration with Queen. And the peak of David’s creative rise falls on 1983, in which such songs as: “Let’s Dance”, “China Girl” and “Modern Love” are released.
In recent decades, David Bowie has continued to experiment with styles in music, and continues to produce musicians playing in different styles and directions, among his "outsiders".
