In this period Billie Holiday sang in New York nightclubs, developing her vocal skills, stage presence and command with the public. Her musical beginnings were between 1930-1932. From this school Billie managed to escape and in 1927 she moved with her mother to New Jersey and then to New York where she worked as a prostitute. This origin made Billie a lonely girl who, at the age of 10, and after admitting she was raped, she was sent to a Catholic school. In Holiday's case, she was fathered by a mother who was only 13 years old and a bassist and jazz guitarist father who was only 15 years old. Her life is just as dramatic as that of many jazzmen of the last century, in which a principle of economic poverty, dysfunctional families and the powerful talent that immortalizes them abound. Billie Holiday was born in Philadelphia on Apand died in New York on Jof cirrhosis of the liver.
