Gary Numan was born on March 8, 1958, in Hammersmith, London, England. He began his musical career in 1977 as a punk rocker but was sacked from his band in May of that year. He then responded to an advertisement in Melody Maker to join The Lasers, alongside another musician. Both soon left to form their own punk band, with his uncle filling in on drums. In 1978, Numan was signed to a label and released a couple of punk singles. By that time, he was using the name Numan, and the band was performing live in pubs and clubs around London, supporting other acts. While recording demos for Beggars, Gary discovered a "Minimoog" synthesizer left behind in the studio, which had a sound that caught his attention.
