About Tom Waits
Thomas Alan Waits was born on December 7, 1949 in Pomona, CA. When he was 10 years old, his parents divorced and he moved to National City, near the Mexican border, with his mother. Through frequent trips to Mexico with his father, Tom Waits learned Spanish and became a lover of music. Tom Waits then taught himself how to play piano at his neighbor's house and went on to play in an R8B soul band called The System while he attended high school at Hilltop High School in Chula Vista, CA.
About five years later, Tom Waits found himself working as a doorman at the Heritage Nightclub in Pacific Beach. It was during this time that Tom Waits played his first gig, getting paid only $25.

Later on, after briefly working for the U.S. Coast Guard, Tom Waits had the opportunity to play the Troubadour in Los Angeles.
