Tom Waits
Thomas Alan Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, composer, and actor.
His music is characterized by lyrics focusing on the underside of society, delivered in his distinctive deep, gravelly voice.
During the 1970s, he worked primarily in jazz, but since the 1980s his music has reflected greater influence from blues, vaudeville, and experimental genres.
Waits was born and raised in a middle-class family in Pomona, California.
Inspired by the work of Bob Dylan and the Beat Generation, he began singing on the San Diego folk music circuit as a teenager, relocating to Los Angeles in 1972.
He worked there as a songwriter before signing a recording contract with Asylum Records.
His first albums were the jazz-oriented "Closing Time" (1973) and "The Heart of Saturday Night" (1974), which reflected his lyrical interest in nightlife, poverty, and criminality.
He repeatedly toured the United States, Europe, and Japan, and attracted greater critical recognition and commercial success with "Small Change" (1976), "Blue Valentine" (1978), and "Heartattack and Vine" (1980).
He produced the soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's 1981 film "One from the Heart", and subsequently made cameo appearances in several Coppola films.
In 1980, Waits married Kathleen Brennan, split from his manager and record label, and moved to New York City.
Under his wife's encouragement, he pursued a more experimental and eclectic musical aesthetic influenced by the work of Harry Partch and Captain Beefheart.
This was reflected in a series of albums released by Island Records, including "Swordfishtrombones" (1983), "Rain Dogs" (1985), and "Franks Wild Years" (1987).
He continued appearing in films, taking a leading role in Jim Jarmusch's "Down by Law" (1986), and made theatrical appearances.
With theatre director Robert Wilson he produced two musicals, "The Black Rider" and "Alice", first performed in Hamburg.
Having returned to California in the 1990s, Waits' albums "Bone Machine" (1992), "The Black Rider" (1993), and "Mule Variations" (1999) earned him increasing critical acclaim and various Grammy Awards.
In the late 1990s, he switched to the record label Anti-, which released "Blood Money" (2002), "Alice" (2002), "Real Gone" (2004), and "Bad as Me" (2011).
Although attracting little commercial success domestically, Waits attracted an international cult following and has been widely covered by other singers.
In 2011, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and included in the 2015 Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.
Several biographies have been written about him and fan events established in various countries.
