 ==Biography==
-As a child would keep a pad of paper and pencil by his bed so that he could write down the lyrics he thought up in the middle of the night. He taught himself how to play the piano at a neighbor's house, and then learned the guitar. Waits got into the music business at an early age; [[Herb Cohen]] signed him to Asylum records in 1971 ('discovered at a "Hoot Night" at [[The Troubadour]]).

	'''Tom Waits''' (Pomona, California, July 12, 1949) is an American singer, pianist and occasional actor. Waits' early music (1973-1983) can be described as late night piano music in a bar and is actually quite accessible. His later work, from 1983 on, was more underground style music combining rock and folk music. He has a very recognizable growling voice, similar to [[Captain Beefheart]] of whom he is a fan.
