Raised in the ‘Burbs
As a child growing up in the Dartford suburbs of Kent, England, Mick Jagger was influenced by his parents. In fact, Jagger has stated that one of the most important individuals in his life was his father. He not only inspired and motivated Mick, but he also led and taught him how to effectively use and distribute his energy and strength in whatever he did.

Mick Jagger has undeniable regard for his parents, claiming that his father has always been a far more dedicated worker than he has been. “[My father] puts forth a lot more effort than I do.” But I believe people did back then. “I don’t believe they were given time off,” Jagger told The Guardian. However, it was someone else he met early in his childhood who would pave the way for him to pursue a career as a music producer.
