Stevie Wonder is an American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer who was born Stevland Hardaway Morris on May 13, 1950. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century and a pioneer across R&B, pop, soul, gospel, funk and jazz. Blind since shortly after his birth, he was a child prodigy who signed with Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11 and was given the name Little Stevie Wonder.
His single Fingertips topped the Billboard Hot 100 when he was 13, making him the youngest solo artist ever to top the chart. His classic period from 1972 to 1976 began with Music of My Mind and Talking Book in 1972, which abandoned the Motown sound for a synthesizer-driven one. With Innervisions in 1973, Fulfillingness' First Finale in 1974 and Songs in the Key of Life in 1976, he became the only artist to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year with three consecutive albums. In the 1980s he collaborated with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson and achieved international cultural presence.
How Stevie Wonder makes his money
Record sales and streaming are the foundation. His classic albums of the 1970s remain among the most celebrated in pop history, and they keep earning royalties.
Songwriting and publishing are a major stream. He writes and produces most of his own material, so he earns publishing income on songs that are widely covered and sampled.
Touring and special appearances add live income. He has performed for decades at festivals and tribute concerts.
Collaborations extend his reach. Duets and projects with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson in the 1980s created further hits and royalties.
