Nick Cave (Nicholas Edward Cave) was born on 22nd September 1957 in a small town in Australia, Warracknabeal. Already in the boyhood, he became a member of the church choir, but his turbulent spirit brought him many problems in his early youth. He refused to live by the rules of a small environment, often made problems in school and parents made a decision to send him to the boarding school in Melbourne. He enrolled at the Institute of Technology but gave up after the first year because of the desire to dedicate himself to music. After a tumultuous but notable musical creation, in 1983, a new band was created, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, with different melodies and lyrics. Great popularity, world tour, successful albums, and the adoption of bad habits typical of the lifestyle of celebrities followed. Artistic spirit of Nick Cave led him to return to the beginning, to create post punk music, as at the beginning of his career, and in 2007, he recorded exactly such an album with the new band he created - Grinderman. A great singer, songwriter, writer, music composer for films, screenwriter and actor is considered one of the greatest artists of modern times.
