Dylan began his musical career in the nineteen sixties, before the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Ironically, he shaped American popular music, without even intending to do so.

Born in nineteen forty one, in a Jewish family, he became very involved with performing arts, movie and music industry…he loved musicals. His songs were performed in all the various styles of American popular music including rock, rock and roll, blues, gospel, folk music, and country. This American singer-songwriter shortly became a true American Idol, providing the youth with motivation for artistic expression and distinct creative identity.

As a child, Bob Dylan often wrote poetry and songs for his aging parents dying of Cancer. Social Revolution, Sexual Revolution, and other pleasant events formed his personality and view of the world as he became an artist expressing this view. His Jewish parents offered him a great chance to study in college and receive great education. But in nineteen fifty eight Bob dropped out of college to peruse his musical career. His parents cursed him and refused to ever see him again. That is when he wrote his most famous song 'Knocking on Heaven's Door'.

Bob Dylan's sound often was criticized but most of the time people loved his texts and music. He played wherever he was allowed to play standing alone on the stage or in the street with his harmonica and a six string guitar. Later on he changed his name from Zimmerman to Bob Dylan, because of the anti-Semitic problems he sometimes experienced.
