Kurt Cobain in his childhood

The biography of Kurt Cobain begins in February 1967, when a child in a regular working family has appeared. Kurt Cobain's parents were ordinary people.

In two years Kurt sang the songs of the famous Beatles group with special enthusiasm, and at the age of four he already composed his own.

Then followed a new team gathering and choice of the name. "Nirvana" did not appear immediately. Before this new composition tried many other options, but none of them was approved by a unanimous decision.

In 1988, the guys released their first joint single, and a year later debuted an album called Bleach. And this was only the beginning of their glory.

While the band won a wide audience, and the participants of Nirvana enjoyed the spectator sympathy and success, Kurt Cobain did not find a place. After all, he was not attracted to all this. He wanted to be more independent. That's why the next album became darker with a heavy performance.
