David Jones was born on January 8, 1947 in the London borough of Brixton in the family of a waitress and a charity employee

Father always encouraged his son’s dream of becoming an artist. One day he brought home a collection of American records

His first character was David Jones

"I re-invented my image so many times that I’m in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman"

After leaving the hospital, David gathers his first group.
In 1966, the first single under the name David Bowie was released. After that he couldn’t stop no more…

At the age of 15 after a fight with a friend over a girl, one of his eyes got injured and a pupil remained permanently dilated, which created the effect of multicolored eyes
