Mick Jagger, born Michael Philip Jagger on July 26, 1943, in Dartford, Kent, England, is a renowned British musician best known as the lead singer and a founding member of the Rolling Stones. Jagger's career has spanned over six decades, and he is celebrated for his distinctive voice, energetic stage presence, and significant influence on rock music.

Jagger formed his first band as a teenager and later attended the London School of Economics. He reunited with childhood friend Keith Richards in 1961, and together they founded the Rolling Stones in 1962, alongside Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman. The band quickly rose to fame with hits like “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and “Honky Tonk Women,” many of which Jagger co-wrote with Richards. The Rolling Stones became known for their gritty, blues-influenced sound and high-energy live performances.

Throughout his career, Jagger has also pursued solo projects, although they have not matched the success of his work with the Rolling Stones. He has released several solo albums and collaborated with other artists, including a notable duet with David Bowie, "Dancing in the Street," which topped charts in the UK and Australia.

In addition to music, Jagger has ventured into acting and film production, co-founding Jagged Films in the 2000s. Despite occasional tensions with bandmates, particularly Richards, Jagger has remained a central figure in the Rolling Stones, leading the band to win multiple Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album for their 2023 release, Hackney Diamonds.

Jagger's personal life has been marked by high-profile relationships and marriages, including Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias and Jerry Hall. He has eight children with five different women. Jagger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and was knighted in 2003 for his contributions to popular music. His legacy as a trailblazer in rock music continues to influence generations of musicians and fans worldwide.
