About

Multiplatinum artist and activist John Legend made history as the first African American man to join the prestigious EGOT club. The 12-time Grammy Award-winner released his eighth studio album, LEGEND, in September 2022, and will return as a judge on season 24 of the Emmy-nominated show, The Voice, this fall. Legend is the founder of Loved01, a skin-care line for melanin-rich skin. Legend, alongside award-winning producers Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorius, is a principal in Get Lifted Film Co., a Los Angeles based production company dedicated to bringing elevated multi-cultural content across film, television, and books to global audiences. As an activist, Legend initiated the #FREEAMERICA campaign in 2015 and most recently founded the initiative HUMANLEVEL, which is igniting systematic change and building racial equity across American cities and communities.
