Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger (born July 26, 1943 in Dartford, Kent) is a British rock musician, actor, writer, composer, record and film producer and businessman. He is most famous for being the lead singer and co-founder (with guitarist Brian Jones) of the British rock and roll band The Rolling Stones. He is also the songwriting partner of Stones guitarist Keith Richards and the pair have composed almost all the Rolling Stones' original material, as well as numerous songs for other arists including As Tears Go By (for Marianne Faithfull) and Out Of Time (for Chris Farlowe). Mick Jagger was born to Joe and Eva Jagger. He discovered early rock & roll music during his teenage years and formed the band Little Boy Blue & the Blue Boys.
In his late teens, he met up with future Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, who he had initially met when both attended the Dartford Maypole County Primary School. They started the band shortly after, due to their mutual love of rock & roll and blues music. Jagger attended the London School of Economics. In 1967 Jagger and Richards were arrested and charged with drug possession. It was during this period that Jagger took over as the effective leader of The Rolling Stones, as founder Brian Jones left the band in early 1969 but accidentally drowned in his swimming pool only weeks later.
Jagger's first child was born by singer Marsha Hunt. In May 1971 he married Bianca Perez Morena de Macias, and she gave birth to their daughter Jade. During this Jagger also appeared in films such as the Nicholas Roeg cult thriller "Performance (movie)" in 1970. Between 1990-1999, he was married to model/TV hostess Jerry Hall, which produced four more children. A brief affair with Brazilian model and TV presenter Luciana Gimenez resulted in the birth of Lucas Jagger (1999). Following the band's acrimonious split with their second manager, Allen B. Klein, Jagger took control of the band's business affairs and has managed them ever since, in collaboration with his friend and colleague, Prince Rupert Von Lowenstein.
