Artist Profile (source: last.fm):

Stevie Wonder (born May 13, 1950 Saginaw, MI) is a Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter, producer, musician, humanitarian and social activist. Although born as Stevland Hardaway Judkins he later changed his surname to Morris but is better known by his stage name of Stevie Wonder or Little Stevie Wonder. His mother’s biography states that his surname was legally changed to Morris, “an old family name”, in 1961 when he signed with Motown. Wonder has recorded more than thirty Top 10 hits, won twenty-two Grammys (the most ever won by a solo artist), including one Lifetime Achievement Award, and been inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Songwriters halls of fame.

Blind from infancy, Wonder signed with Motown Records at the age of eleven and has become one of the most successful and well-known artists on the label, with nine U.S. #1 hits to his name, 35 U.S. albums - 28 major studio releases- and album sales totaling more than 72 million units. He has recorded several critically acclaimed albums and hit singles, and writes and produces songs for many of his labelmates and outside artists as well. A multi-instrumentalist, Wonder plays the drums, guitar, synthesizers, congas, and most famously the piano, harmonica and keyboards.

His contribution to worldwide social and political change is just as impressive, with Wonder championing the effort to make Martin Luther King’s birthday a national holiday, as well as becoming a driving force behind 1985’s USA For Africa campaign.
