Biography

John Legend (real name – John Stephens) was born in a large family. Music became John’s major interest in his early years as his father was a drummer, while his mother was a lead singer and head of the church choir. In 1995, John entered the University of Pennsylvania and practiced music when he had time to. Shortly after, he joined the student band Counterparts to perform from time to time at various student events and youth competitions. At the same time, John became a leader and pianist of a church choir. Having finished the university with a strategic management advisor specialty, he went to Boston to try his professional skills. It did not take him long to understand that the office routine was not his cup of tea, and John decided to pursue his career in the sphere of music. He toured a lot and wrote a lot of material for that period.
