Malcolm McLaren

Malcolm McLaren was born on January 22nd, 1946 in London. In the late 1960s he started designing clothes and in 1972 he opened a boutique in London with his then girlfriend, Vivienne Westwood.

In 1975, Malcolm started a band which became one of the most famous punk bands in history, The Sex Pistols. He became their manager.

In the '80s, after the Sex Pistols broke up, Malcolm became the manager of another band, Adam and the Ants. When Adam Ant left the band, Malcolm asked the 14 year old Annabella Lwin if she wanted to join the band and Bow Wow Wow was born.

While all of this was going on, Malcolm was making his own records, beginning with the single "Buffalo Gals" which has hip-hop influences. He next turned to opera, recording an adaptation of "Madame Butterfly".
