Farrokh Bulsara was born in Zanzibar on September 5, 1946 only to
become Freddie Mercury 25 years later, the frontrunner of Queen:
one of the greatest rock bands of all time
His parents were Bomi and Jer Bulasara, and he spent most of his
childhood in India going to St. Peters boarding school. At the age of
seven he began playing the piano but no one was able to foresee
where a love for music would take him.
In 1964, Freddie began singing for a blues group called Wreckage in
Middlesex. He attended Ealing College of Art and studying graphic
design. It was there that a student introduced him to Rodger Taylor
and Brian May, founder members of a band named Smile. It was
these three who created the band Queen
Seven years later, the band found its final member, bassist John
Deacon.
Two years later Queen released their debut album entitled Queen. It
was this album that started the chain reaction which allowed Queen
to soar. They became instantly popular as there sound was new,
different, and poppy. Freddie then dedicated his life to writing,
making, and performing music with Queen.
The band performed everywhere and Freddie was able to live his
dream of becoming a legend as they created stadium rock. He was
able to show his theatrical talent and change the history of music
forever.

side projects with other popular artists and playing with Queen still.

album with Queen called Innuendo

Level III:
Q- Freddie Mercury experimented with not only his music but with his life,
he took risks, and was able to become a legend. Do you think in life, it is
better to take risks or play it safe?
A- If Freddie Mercury never took the risk or opportunity in 1964 to leave his
former band and create a totally new one, he would have never been able
to become the legend he became. Therefore, I do believe it is better to take
risks. Life is about the choices a person makes, where each choice can
have major to little or no impact on someones life. The choices we make
as individuals, leads us down the path to become the person we are
destined to be. It doesnt matter if you become a legend or end up in a
worse off position than before, the chance to take a risk and create a whole
new path of life for yourself is what gives life the power of change.
