John Legend delves deep into his connection with music

John Legend delved deep into his decades-old relationship and love for music.

The All Of Me hitmaker recently sat down with the grammy-nominated rising star D Smoke in one of the episodes of Facebook Watch's Forward: The Future of Black Music.

The conversation on the show has been about the commemoration of Black History Month. Legend admitted that he grew up in a house where he had access to piano since he was only four. 

“Probably a lot like you, we had a piano in our house growing up," Legend said. "I saw it there and I was like, 'Well, obviously it's meant to be played.”

After getting piano lessons at 4, the hitmaker was inspired by his grandmother who helped him in gathering self-confidence.

“My grandmother was our church organist and she started to show me how to play gospel music when I was like 7 or 8," he added. "I had gotten to the point where I could play for the church, wasn't that great."
