About David Bowie
David Bowie built his career around changes in musical style and performance identity. The success of 'Space Oddity' in 1969 was followed by the Ziggy Stardust character and albums that moved through guitar rock, soul and electronic textures. Collaborations with Tony Visconti, Brian Eno and Nile Rodgers shaped different periods. Alongside his recording career he worked in film and theater. His later recordings include The Next Day and Blackstar, extending a catalog in which concise pop songs sit beside more experimental album pieces.
