Today's blog post is about the one and only Stevie Wonder.
If you don't know who he is, I do not know where you have been. Stevie Wonder is such an iconic man. Throughout his entire career, he has won 25 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, and a bunch of other awards. But it's not the number of awards that makes him a legend. It's what won Stevie these awards that makes him a legend.
First and foremost, Stevie is an amazing singer. His vocals are always on point. The mix of jazz, soul, R&B, funk and pop heard in his voice brings people to musical heaven. Even at the age of 64, Stevie Wonder can still hit those notes effortlessly.
Secondly, Stevie is an very talented instrumentalist. The keys and the harmonica are his main instruments but he can also play the congas, bongos and other instruments. What's more is that Stevie was born blind, which would normally make the learning an instrument difficult, but that wasn't the case for him. Ever since he was a child, Stevie has loved music. He didn't allow his blindness defeat him. He pursued a career in music and look at him now. A legend in the music industry.
Lastly, Stevie is a positive person. He's always happy and smiling. This positive energy is translated into his music and performances. When he plays the piano, he sways and sings his heart out. He continues to spread to the world the positivity that the world needs through his music. We need more people like Stevie.
Stevie Wonder has influenced me more than any other performer. I can't wait for some artist to not necessarily be the same as Stevie, but to be the same kind of artist as Stevie. A skilled and passionate artist who uses his or her talents to bring happiness to the world.
That is all I have for you guys today! I hope you enjoyed this blog post as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Until Next Time!
