Mick Jagger
British singer and songwriter; vocalist of The Rolling Stones
The Stones, solo records and other stages
A band-defining voice
Born in Dartford, Mick Jagger became the lead singer and songwriter of the Rolling Stones. His vocal style and stage presence helped give the group a recognizable identity as rock music expanded in the 1960s. The band entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.
Outside the band
Jagger took film roles in Performance and Ned Kelly, both released in 1970. From the mid-1980s he also issued albums under his own name, beginning with She’s the Boss; his duet with David Bowie on Dancing in the Street became a prominent solo-era single.
Later collaborations
Alongside continuing work with the Stones, Jagger joined Dave Stewart, Damian Marley, Joss Stone and A. R. Rahman in SuperHeavy, whose album appeared in 2011. His career thus extends across band recordings, solo releases, film and cross-genre collaboration.
