Our exploration begins in the vibrant neighborhoods of South London during the 1950s, where David Robert Jones grew up envisioning himself as a baseball player and spent countless hours tuning in to the radio waves of the American forces stationed in England. It was through this medium that he discovered the pioneering sounds of Rock 'n' Roll, courtesy of Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and Bill Haley, igniting within him a burning desire to become David Bowie.

Within this extraordinary musical voyage, "Starman" emerged as a celestial beacon, capturing the imagination of listeners worldwide.
Join us as we navigate the cosmic landscape of David Bowie's artistic evolution, immersing ourselves in the magical essence of "Starman." Uncover the inspirations, the creative process, and the impact this timeless track had on both Bowie's career and the world of music.
