I Played Classical As A Kid.

I Hear Melodies And Hooks All Day. I've Always Been That Way, Since I Was A Kid.

I Wrote The Song "show Me" As A Prayer To God Asking Simple, Honest Questions About Life And Death And Why There Is So Much Suffering In The World. As I Grew With The Song I Realized I Shouldn't Limit These Questions Solely To God; I Should Ask Those Questions Of Others And Of Myself.

Anybody Under The Age Of Forty Knows Hip-hop, Gospel And R&b Pretty Well, And It's All A Part Of What We Consider To Be 'black Music.' There Is A Natural Synergy Between The Three.

People See Me As Pretty Low Key In A Lot Of Ways. And For Me, Like, Even Choosing To Be John Legend And To Be Who I Am As A Star, As An Artist, It's A Risk 'cause I - You Know, I Graduated From College And Worked As A Management Consultant, And I Could Have Had This Very Kind Of Buttoned-up Life And Worn Suits To Work Every Day.

Every Artist Wants Some Sort Of Feedback, Because You Make This Music And You Hope People Love It And You Want To Hear If They Love It And What They Love About It, What Their Favorite Song Is, What They Think The Next Single Should Be. I Like To Hear Those Things.
