Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and humanitarian. He is best known for his work with his E Street Band.  Nicknamed “The Boss”, Springsteen is widely known for his brand of poetic lyrics centered on American heritage, working class and sometimes political sentiments.

Springsteen was born in Long Branch, New Jersey.  His father was of Dutch and Irish ancestry and his mother was of Italian ancestry. His surname is of Dutch origin: the literal translation being “jumping stone” but more generally meaning a kind of stone used as a stepping stone in unpaved streets.

Springsteen was raised as a Roman Catholic and attended the St. Rose of Lima Catholic school in Freehold Borough. In those days, he was at odds with the nuns and rejected their criticisms, but in a 2012 interview, he explained that it was his Catholic upbringing rather than his political ideology that most influenced his music.

Springsteen has recorded both rock and folk-oriented albums. His most successful studio albums are “Born to Run” (1975) and “Born in the USA” (1984).  He has sold more than 64 million albums in the United States and more than 120 million records worldwide: making him one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time. He has earned many awards, including 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award.  He was inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.
