Roderick On January 10, 1945, David “Rod” Stewart was born in London, England. He is the youngest of five children and the son of Robert Joseph Stewart and Elsie Rebecca Gilbart of British and Scottish descent.
His childhood was primarily consumed by hobbies such as model railroading and soccer. He captained the school soccer team and represented Middlesex Schoolboys. Stewart did not become interested in music until the early 1960s when he began to learn the harmonica and later the piano.
His early influences included singers Al Jolson and Little Richard. Stewart dropped out of high school at the age of 15 with the goal of becoming a professional soccer player. He began his career with odd jobs, including a brief stint as a gravedigger at Highgate Cemetary.
Stewart began busking around Leicester Square with folk singer Wizz Jones in 1962, playing the harmonica. They took their act on the road for the next year and a half, visiting Brighton, Paris, and Barcelona. He got his first professional job as a musician in October 1963, when he joined an R&B group called The Dimensions in London as a harmonica player and vocalist, after developing a strong interest and liking for American rhythm and blues acts like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding.
Over the next few years, he was a member of several different musical acts. In 1966, he joined the Jeff Beck Group and had his first taste of success, releasing two albums and touring the UK and the US. Both albums charted at No. 15 in the United States.
He was known as “Rod The Mod” at the time because of his punk-rock alternative style and appearance.
