John Legend has come a long way since his days an in-demand session writer and musician working with Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, among others. Born and raised in Springfield, Ohio, the singer (born John Stephens) began playing piano at the age of four; he was singing in his church choir by seven and blossomed into a choir director in his teens. He began to work his way into the Philadelphia music scene while studying at the University of Pennsylvania (where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1999). Kanye West gave Legend his first big break when he signed the artist to his G.O.O.D Music production company in 2004.
It would prove to be one of West’s smartest decisions. Legend’s debut, Get Lifted, opened at #7 on the Billboard Top 200 sales chart and turned the singer into an overnight sensation. Featuring the hit singles “Ordinary People,†“Used to Love U,†and “So High,†the album quickly became both a critical and commercial success, selling more than three million copies and earning Legend a slew of awards (including Grammys for Best New Artist, Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B album). The artist had successfully evaded the sophomore slump and once again critics across the globe were raving.
Reflecting on his evolution, Legend says that at this point in his life he is the most confident that he’s ever been. “I’m more comfortable with my entire being,†he says. “I’m more engaged in the world around me. In every aspect of my life–in relationships, sexually, emotionally, intellectually–I’ve grown up. This album is a statement about where I am right now.â€
