Having grown up in London, Bowie lived in both Berlin and Switzerland before finally moving to New York City in the early nineties with his wife Iman. He is later quoted as saying “I realized the other day that I’ve lived in New York longer than I’ve lived anywhere else. It’s amazing, I am a New Yorker.”
