John Legend is a household name not just because of his voice, his lyrics, or his piano playing, but because of his philosophy on songwriting. “Great songwriting combines the personal and the universal…the specific and the general…good songwriting feels new, but it also feels familiar”. It’s this delicate paradox John Legend has been able to master that has become his signature sound, leading to 10 million records sold, 13 Grammy Awards, and to becoming the first ever black man to win an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards).
In this video, get a glimpse into how John Legend starts to form a song by testing out chord progressions, mumbling initial vocal melodies, and creatively experimenting with different arrangements to figure out the bones of a song. Sitting at his home piano bar, this simple routine process is the same way classics like “Ordinary People” and “All of Me” were written.
Now you too can take the universally recognizable sound of John Legend’s piano and make it personal - to you. This iconic piano is now available in your home studio with Splice INSTRUMENT’s new John Legend Piano. The instrument includes six presets—Close, Ultra Close, Pop Close, Ribbon, Room, and the main recording settings of Ordinary People —so you can shape it to your own production and create your own signature sound.
