-------------------Biography-------Section 1 of 9

Freddie Mercury was born Farok Bulsara on September 5th 1946 in Zanzibar, to parents Bomi & Jer Bulsara. Freddie won a beautiful baby contest at the age of 1. Freddie moved to India in 1947. He attended St' Peters boarding school in Panchgani, just outside Bombay. It was there his friends began to call him Freddie, a name the family also adopted. Whilst there he began his piano lessons, reaching Grade 4 in practical and theory.
The family, with the addition now of younger sister Kashmira born in 1952, moved to England in 1963. In 1958, five friends at St Peter's - Freddie Bulsara, Derrick Branche, Bruce Murray, Farang Irani and Victory Rana - formed the school's rock'n roll band, the Hectics, where Freddie was the piano player. They would play at school parties, at annual fetes and school dances, but little else is known about them. Freddie left Isleworth school in 1964 with three "O" levels and one "A" level in Art. He went to Ealing College of Art to study Graphic Illustration.
