John Legend has always been ahead of the curve. He started playing piano at 4, graduated high school at 16. He grew up with a family surrounded by gospel music, and became a prodigy. After graduating from UPenn, he did what so many aspiring artists do - he hustled. Working a consulting job during the day, singing in clubs at night. Hoping to get someone to notice, to believe in him and to cut him a record deal. Funny to think about because it’s hard to imagine a world where John Legend isn’t a household name, but just goes to show that even the greats started somewhere.
