Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Pinner, Middlesex in London. Dwight had an innate ability to play the piano and was already playing “The Skater’s Waltz” at only 4 years old! He won a junior scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music at the age of 11 and greatly impressed his teachers with his unique playing ability. He started off his career at the age of 15, though not professionally but by playing at pubs near his home. He played a wide range of music for audience and never missed a gig.
He was part of the band Bluesology for a number of years before he answered an ad in the newspaper and wrote the music for a song whose lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin. That was his first cooperation with Bernie Taupin, and his partnership with Taupin continues to this day. Dwight started going by the name Elton John around the same time, as homage to his old band members Elton Dean and Long John Baldry.
