Whether you call it 'fate' or 'destiny' or 'a calling,' the fact is that some people are born to sing and create music. If you ask any of the 'legends' in the music business, chances are you'll get a variation on the idea that music is and always has been the artist's most natural expression. The industry's latest 'legend' -- John Legend, actually -- reveals that from the age of five or six, he expected to be 'discovered.'
'I used to watch Michael Jackson on television and I figured I could do what he was doing.' Music has been the central theme in the life of John Legend (born John Stephens) for as long as he can remember and now, some twenty-odd years later, this multi-talented singer, songwriter, musician, arranger and producer is fulfilling his childhood dreams and ambitions.
With Get Lifted, his major label debut album on Columbia Records, Legend demonstrates a rare ability to fuse the 'feel' and vibe of classic old school soul music with the edgy flavor of 21st century hip-hop. While the romantic themes of traditional R&B permeate John's Get Lifted, there's alsoa street-worthy hipness and confidence: the sensuality of Marvin Gaye and the sincerity of Stevie Wonder merging with the directness of Snoop Dogg and the wit of Kanye West. Yet, John Legend is very much his own artist, gifted with singular talents and a unique sensibility.
Artist Biography - John Legend
Take 'Ordinary People,' one of the last tracks John worked on in the summer of 2004 for the album, which is executive produced by hitmaker Kanye West (who also co-wrote and produced several tracks on the record). Recorded with John's simple and plaintive piano accompaniment, the song is, according to its creator, 'real, a composite of experiences. It's about love, not as a fantasy or fairytale, but as it really goes down between two people.'
Among the impressive credits John's amassed in the last few years (which includes session work with Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, Talib Kweli, Jay-Z, Britney Spears, Eve, Common, the Black Eyed Peas and, of course, Kanye West), John is particularly proud of his work on 'Everything Is Everything,' a key cut on Hill's multi-platinum Grammy-winning The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. 'Through a friend of hers,' says Legend, 'I went to the studio when Lauryn was working on that record and I sang a couple of original songs for her and ended up playing piano on that song. I'm still very proud that that was the first major record I was on.'
Counting Lauryn Hill and Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Al Green and The O'Jays among his primary influences (along with a slew of gospel artists like Edwin Hawkins, Shirley Caesar, Commissioned, John P. Kee and James Cleveland he heard during his formative years), John Legend has combined his inspirations into a stunning new sound all his own. You can hear it on tracks like 'She Don't Have To Know' and '#1' (which features Kanye West), a pair of songs dealing with the age-old topic of infidelity. Of the latter, John says with a smile, 'I guess you could say that's a 'guy' song. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, basically saying, 'Hey, I know I cheated, but I'm a guy so what do you expect?' A lot of traditional R&B doesn't have that wit and swagger that you find in hip-hop, and that's what I wanted to include in my music.'
