BIOGRAPHY
Dylan is an American music artist, born on May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota. He grew up in a middle-class family and began playing music at the age of nine, learning the guitar. At eighteen, Dylan left his hometown in Minnesota for New York, where he began his music career.
He quickly made a name for himself in New York's folk scene and, in 1962, signed a contract with the prestigious record label Columbia Records. His first album, titled "Bob Dylan," was released the same year and received critical acclaim, propelling Dylan into the folk scene.
In 1963, Dylan released his second album, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan," which included songs like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall." These tracks established Dylan as a politically engaged artist, and he participated in the 1964 Selma to Montgomery civil rights march.
The following year, Dylan released his third album, "Bringing It All Back Home," which included songs like "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "Mr. Tambourine Man." These tracks transformed Dylan into a popular rock artist, and in 1966, he released his fourth album, "Blonde on Blonde," which included songs like "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" and "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat."
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Dylan continued to release albums, including "Oh Mercy" in 1989, which received critical acclaim. He continued his discography throughout the 1990s and 2000s, and released his thirty-first album, "Fallen Angels," in 2016. Considered one of the greatest musicians of all time, Dylan was awarded by the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2017.
