New York, New York - November 5th, 2026 - Long before Howard Bloom became the press agent who helped shape the public images of Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley, Billy Joel, and dozens of other legends, he was a boy in Buffalo, New York, chasing the biggest questions in the universe.

Born on June 25, 1943, Bloom arrived in the music business not as a fan or a hustler, but as a scientist on a mission.

And the record of his youth reads less like a childhood and more like the opening chapter of a physicist's biography.
