The Profile

English singer-songwriter and actor David Bowie (born David Robert Jones, 1947–2016) was a pioneering, genre‑shifting artist known for his personas, musical experimentation and a career spanning pop, rock and avant‑garde projects.

Born 8 January 1947; died 10 January 2016. Began recording in the 1960s and remained active through 2016. Notable collaborators include Brian Eno, Mick Ronson and Tony Visconti.

Critics highlight experimentation, key collaborations (Brian Eno, Mick Ronson) and memorable live moments. Reception in the reviews is largely celebratory with occasional critical notes about some mainstream turns.
