John Legend is an American soul singer, songwriter, and pianist. He has won six Grammy Awards.

Prior to the release of his debut album, Legend's career gained momentum through a series of successful collaborations with multiple established artists. Notably, Legend sang the hooks for hits by Slum Village ("Selfish", also featuring Kanye West), Jay-Z ("Encore"), and Dilated Peoples ("This Way", also featuring Kanye West); played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything"; and sang background vocals on Alicia Keys' 2003 song "You Don't Know My Name" and Fort Minor's "High Road."

Recently, Legend recorded "Green Light" in collaboration with Andre 3000 as the lead single for this third album Evolver.

Born December 28, 1978, his primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Earth Horse. No one would accuse the Horse of being a down to earth sign. Thus, Earth gives him some needed practicality. He is more plodding and methodical but also more indecisive than other Horses. His being a less excitable Horse helps to make for happy relationships.
