Frank Zappa 

was an 

American composer, 

guitarist, bandleader,

 actor, comedian,

 satirist, filmmaker,

 activist and 

freedom of speech

 advocate.

 In a career spanning more

 than 30 years, 

Zappa composed rock, 

pop, jazz, 

jazz fusion, 

orchestral and 

musique concrète works; 

he additionally produced 

nearly all the 

60-plus albums 

he released with his

 band 

the Mothers of Invention

 and as a solo artist. 

His work is 

characterized by 

nonconformity, 

improvisation,

 sound experimentation,

 musical virtuosity

 and satire of 

American culture.

 Zappa also directed 

feature-length films 

and music videos, 

and designed 

album covers. 

He is considered 

one of the most

 innovative and 

stylistically diverse 

musicians of 

his generation.

As a mostly

 self-taught composer 

and performer, 

Zappa had 

diverse musical influences 

that led him to 

create music

 that was sometimes 

difficult to categorize. 

While in his teens,

 he acquired a taste for 

20th-century 

classical modernism, 

African-American 

rhythm and blues, 

and doo-wop music. 

He began writing 

classical music

 in high school, 

while simultaneously 

playing drums in 

rhythm-and-blues bands,

 later switching to 

electric guitar. 

His debut studio album

 with 

the Mothers of Invention,

 Freak Out! 

(1966), 

combined satirical

 but seemingly 

conventional 

rock-and-roll songs 

with extended sound collages. 

He continued this eclectic 

and experimental approach 

throughout his career.
