Ai Generated Biography Biography

American singer, composer and all-around rock actor; he signed with Warner Bros Records in 1977 on the basis of a one-man demo tape. His first film was "Purple Rain," 1982. A workaholic obsessed with his music, he is admittedly "not normal, exactly." Slight in build with a slinky sexuality, he changed his name for publicity in 1993, choosing an unintelligible symbol. After that time he was often referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Sane." With doe-brown eyes and a sweet spaniel smile, he wears lace gloves, velvet and ruffles. Even though the sexuality of his show was just short of raunchy, his personal sexual preference appeared questionable for some time before his name was linked with several beautiful women. There is no question as to his talent. He first made an impression as a one-man combination of James Brown, John Lennon, George Clinton, Todd Rundgren and Henry Miller. With the same combination of exhibitionism and need for attention that Madonna has, he sings about such taboos as incest, bi-sexuality and the deflowering of an underage child-woman, along with todays mainstream approach of "shake your booty" and various stages of nudity. He and his wife, Mayte Garcia-Nelson, had a baby boy 10/16/96, born with a rare skull deformity. The baby died a week later. Twin women employees, Erlene and Arlene Mojica contacted authorities about the case, instigating an inquiry into the babys death. Neither the birth nor the death certificate lists a father and the death certificate does not clearly identify the babys mother. The two employees had been fired 12/23/96. The Hennepin County medical examiners office in Minneapolis concluded that the baby died of natural causes when he was seven days old. In 1999, Prince was a homebody, enjoying TV, playing pool and bowling, living 17 miles west of Minneapolis. He dresses like a Sultan to grace his ornate mansion. He and Mayte annulled their marriage contract in January 1999 but not their bond. She now spends much of her time in their palatial home in Marcella, Spain, but the two still see each other often, as long as Prince is able to relate without any hint of "bondage." In May 2000, Prince once more adopted his single name, explaining that he had used a symbol for the past seven years "to free myself from all undesirable relationships." Prince became a member of Jehovahs Witnesses in 2001 following a two-year-long debate with friend and fellow Jehovahs Witness, musician Larry Graham. He married Manuela Testolini, 25, in a Jehovahs Witness ceremony in Hawaii on 31 December 2001. The singer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 15 March 2004. Prince is a vegetarian. Since 2007, he has been involved in various lawsuits with YouTube and fan websites, regarding alleged copyright infringement on music, photos and video material. He died at his Paisley Park recording studio and home in Chanhassen, Minnesota, near Minneapolis, on 21 April, 2016, after suffering flu-like symptoms for several weeks.

Prince (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016)

Prince Rogers Nelson, known mononymously as Prince, was an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, dancer, actor, and filmmaker. He was a musical innovator known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence, extravagant fashion sense and wide vocal range. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of his generation.

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Prince pioneered the Minneapolis sound, a hybrid of funk, rock, synth-pop, and new wave music. His music blended diverse genres, incorporating elements of rock, R&B, soul, funk, psychedelia, pop, and jazz. He released his debut album For You in 1978, and rose to prominence with the albums Prince (1979), Dirty Mind (1980), and Controversy (1981). He attained worldwide fame with the release of 1999 (1982). His sixth studio album, Purple Rain (1984), became his most iconic and commercially successful release, selling over 24 million copies worldwide and spending 24 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart. The film of the same name, in which Prince starred, grossed over $68 million at the U.S. box office, and its soundtrack album won an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score.

Following the release of Around the World in a Day (1985) and Parade (1986), Prince disbanded The Revolution and continued as a solo artist. He released the critically acclaimed double album Sign "☮︎" the Times (1987) and several more albums throughout the 1990s, including Diamonds and Pearls (1991) and the symbol album (1992). In 1993, amid a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. Records, he changed his stage name to an unpronounceable symbol, leading to him being referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince". He reverted to using the name Prince in 2000.

Prince continued to release albums and tour throughout the 2000s and 2010s, and remained a prolific artist until his death from an accidental fentanyl overdose on April 21, 2016, at the age of 57.

Legacy and Influence

Prince's impact on music and popular culture is immense. He has sold over 150 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
