Early years in the biography of the singer Prince
The future singer Prince was born in 1958 in a family of musicians of African-American origin. For a long time he lived in his birthplace - in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The father of the future celebrity John Lewis Nelson was a pianist and acted under the pseudonym "Prince Rogers". Mother of the boy Matty Della Shaw, in turn, was a famous jazz singer .
The family had two children - Prince himself and his sister Taika. Since the childhood both offsprings showed a significant interest in the creativity of their parents, which led to the conclusion that they have a musical talent. Prince began to study music very early - at 7 years old he composed and performed the first track Funk Machine.
A huge role in Prince's biography was played by the discord in his family. When the parents of the future celebrity divorced, he had to alternately live with each of them, and the boy nowhere felt himself necessary. As a teenager, Prince left the house for the parents of his friend André Simone and began to earn his living by playing in various musical groups in clubs and bars.
Professional career of a musician
Professional musical career Prince originates from 1977, when he became a member of the group 94 East, created by the husband of his cousin. At the age of twenty, Prince released his first solo album, For You.
The singer not only performed all the songs for his solo album, but also independently wrote, produced and created an arrangement for each composition. The debut of the musician made a real sensation among fans of music in the style of soul and funk. He connected these two directions together, replacing the familiar wind samples with completely unordinary sections performed on the synthesizer.
All further songs of the musician also surprised the fans and impressed them immensely. In addition, Prince always attracted attention by his appearance - he appeared on stage in boots with very high heels, in bikinis and other garments that could shock the public.
Personal life of Prince
Despite the many novels, Prince could not find his own happiness. In his biography there are 2 officially registered marriages - with Maite Garcia and Manuela Testolini. The first wife gave Prince a son, who was called Boy Gregory Nelson, but the baby suffered a severe congenital disease and died 7 days after birth.
The second wife could not give birth to the singer of the child, although he always longed for the heir. Manuela Testolini herself filed for divorce in 2006, failing to cope with the fact that her husband fell under the influence of Jehovah's Witnesses and began to devote too much time to this direction. Other women with whom Prince met, and could not for a long time captivate the leader of world music.
