Singer & Songwriter

Born in Duluth, Minnesota, Shri Bob Dylan grew up in Hibbing, where he developed a passion for music. Inspired by the folk singer Woody Guthrie, he moved to New York City in 1961 to pursue a music career. His breakthrough came with songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", which became anthems of the civil rights and anti-war movements. Throughout his career he has continually reinvented his musical style, influencing countless artists across many genres.
