# Stevie Wonder

> Blind since infancy, he topped the charts at 13 and spent the next six decades reshaping what pop music could sound like and say. The synthesizer innovations, the socially conscious albums, the 25 Grammys - all flow from a child prodigy who refused to stay in any lane Motown built for him.

*American and Ghanaian singer-songwriter, composer and record producer (born 1950)*

## Bio

Stevland Hardaway Morris signed to Motown at 11, branded Little Stevie Wonder, and became the youngest solo artist to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Fingertips" at 13. Through the late '60s he was the label's harmonica-playing hitmaker, but in 1972 he abandoned that sound entirely, diving into synthesizers and keyboards with Music of My Mind and Talking Book. The run that followed - Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale, Songs in the Key of Life - made him the first Black musician to win Album of the Year at the Grammys and the only artist to win it three albums in a row. He spent the '80s crossing into global cultural force: the campaign to make Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a federal holiday, chart-toppers with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, an Oscar for "I Just Called to Say I Love You". He's sold over 100 million records, won 25 Grammys, and in 2014 received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
