Soul is about authenticity. Soul is about finding the things in your life that are real and pure.

J. Ivy is a brilliant man with an incredible voice and a way with words. I've known him for over a decade and owe my stage name to him believing in me back then before I even had a record deal. I'm excited for him to share his truth with the world.

I was the front man of the choir and then when I was 12 and I was the leadsinger of my highschool groups.

I have a great band, with very talented players, and we give everything we have every night.

I believed in myself and I am a firm believer you have to think the things you want and visualize.

Some people, you know, should just go to college and do what they do and have a great job and not worry about trying to be famous as a singer. It's not for everyone.

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.
