Concertagenda John Legend

John Roger Stephens did not choose his stage name himself, yet over more than two decades he has fully lived up to it. As John Legend, he has consistently demonstrated not only exceptional craftsmanship but remarkable versatility, earning his place as a truly 'legendary’ artist. What began with - uncredited - backing vocals for, among others, Kanye West and Alicia Keys, evolved into a distinctive sound that, between his debut 'Get Lifted’ (2004) and his third album 'Evolver’ (2008), crystallized into a pop-driven—but never superficial—blend of neo-soul, classic R&B traditions, and touches of hip-hop and funk. A modern crooner, Legend effortlessly uses his rich, expressive voice from behind the piano, equally at home on intimate ballads and sweeping, majestic songs. The result: global hits such as 'Ordinary People’ and 'All of Me’.

Legend is also one of the rare EGOT winners, having received multiple Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, and has collaborated with an extraordinary range of artists—from The Roots and Norah Jones to André 3000 and Common. Using his international platform to address humanitarian issues, he nonetheless remains, above all, a peerless live performer—one who brings his many talents together in warm, multi-layered, world-class shows, executed with precision and soul.
