John Legend

AN EVENING OF SONGS & STORIES

Swiss exclusivity

A little over twenty years ago, the three-time Grammy-winning album Get Lifted launched the career of a young singer with an otherwordly voice. John Legend’s crooner’s confidence and gift for melody quickly placed him in the lineage of soul greats like Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding. The Ohio-born songwriter also played a pivotal role in R&B’s resurgence, blending it with hip-hop and maintaining a deeply organic sound. In 2018, the creator of All of Me joined the exclusive ranks of “EGOT” artists—those who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony—alongside legends such as Audrey Hepburn, Elton John, and Steven Spielberg. At Montreux, John Legend feels at home, channeling the legends who came before him. During his last Festival appearance, he delivered a passionate and unforgettable rendition of Feeling Good.
