Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Zappa began his musical career in the 1960s as the leader of The Mothers of Invention, with whom he released innovative and provocative albums that blended rock, jazz, classical music, and avant-garde. Known for his multi-instrumental talent, complex songwriting, and energetic performances, Zappa produced a vast discography of over 60 studio albums. Among his most representative tracks are "Purple Haze", "Peaches en Regalia" and "Billy the Mountain".
