When he's not on stage as Ziggy Stardust, he's known as David Bowie from Brixton. At 13, he picked up the saxophone, unaware that both the instrument and London's jazz scene would help shape his future career. After adopting the Bowie name in 1966, he quickly adopted experimental ideas, though early success was limited. In the 1960s, his surreal influences — ranging from mime to Buddhism — felt unconventional for a newcomer. His breakthrough finally came in 1969 with "Space Oddity," proving there's a place for visionaries like him.
