Fascinated by rock and roll music, they decided to form a band. They were joined by George Harrison and Ringo Starr, respectively, creating one of the most important musical groups in history. The beginnings of his career were difficult. The Beatles performed in local clubs, gaining experience and fans. However, the real breakthrough came when the band signed a contract with EMI in 1962.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". This masterpiece received critical acclaim from critics and fans alike, winning multiple awards including Album of the Year at the Grammys. Nevertheless, although The Beatles were at the height of their worldwide fame, tensions within the band began to rise.
