Short Bio
David Bowie, born David Robert Jones on January 8, 1947, in Brixton, London, was much more than a musician; he was a cosmic force in platform boots, constantly reinventing himself from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke.
Bowie was the master of musical metamorphosis, blending rock, electronic, and whatever else was lying around (including, presumably, glitter and space dust) to create sounds that were light-years ahead of their time.
His ability to keep fans guessing “What will David do next?” was only matched by his flair for fashion, proving that yes, men can indeed pull off eyeshadow and jumpsuits. Through hits like “Space Oddity” and “Heroes,” Bowie didn’t just march to the beat of his own drum; he created a whole new rhythm section in the process.
