Neo-soul singer and pianist John Legend combined the raw enthusiasm of simultaneous Cody ChesnuTT and the burning precision of D'Angelo. Born John Stephens, Legend was a child prodigy who grew up in Ohio, where he began singing gospel and playing piano at the tender age of five. Legend left Ohio at 16 to go to college in Philadelphia, and it was there that he first found a larger audience. Not yet out of his teens, Legend was used to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything is everything" in 1998. After completing college, he moved to New York, where he began to build a loyal following playing in clubs and releasing CDs that he would sell at shows. He has also been an in-demand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide range of artists, including Alicia Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson, and Kanye West. It was not until West signed the young talent to his new label that he adopted the Legend name with 2004's Solo Sessions Vol 1: Live at the Knitting Factory. Get lifted, his first studio album, was released later in the year. On the strength of durable single "ordinary people", the album reached Top Five of the Billboard 200. This led to three Grammy Awards: Best R & B album, "Best R & B Male Vocal Performance and Best New Artist. Once Again followed in October 2006. ~ Wade Kergan, All Music GuideShare and Enjoy:
