David Bowie is considered one of the defining artists of the Glam-Rock genre, with the introduction of his on-stage persona Ziggy Stardust.

Ziggy Stardust began in February 1972, when Bowie dressed in costume with dyed red hair to perform with The Spiders From Mars in Kingston. From then, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was released in June 1972. It was a mixture of The Man Sold the World’s Hard Rock and Hunky Dory’s Experimental Rock and Pop. The elements of the album combined with the elements of his on-stage persona, created one of the defining moments in Glam-Rock and arguably the founder of Glam-Rock.
