Do you know of any musicians who started fatherhood young but ultimately kept grinding it out and achieved their dream as an artist?

Wayne Newton
Bing Crosby
Both in their 20s when they became fathers. Der Bingle had two familes by two wives and worked right up to his death at 74. Newton is still performing at 71.

While I adore John Lennon, I would not use him as an example, since he pretty much abandoned his family for career and Yoko.

Frank Zappa was 26 when he put out his first album Freak Out, and with kids still hammered out a music career
