John Legend is one of the most successful and influential artists of our time, whose music in the genres of soul, R&B, and pop has won the hearts of millions of listeners around the world. Legend is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards: he has received 13 Grammy statuettes and one award each from the Oscars, Emmys, and Tonys, making him one of the few artists to have achieved this complete set of top honors.
Legend began his career as a pianist and songwriter, and his breakthrough came with his debut album Get Lifted in 2004, which earned him his first prestigious Grammy Awards. In the following years, he created a number of hits, including the world-famous ballad All of Me, which became one of the most popular songs of the decade according to numerous music media outlets. In 2015, together with rapper Common, Legend wrote the track Glory for the film Selma, which received a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Original Song.
One of the most notable projects was his participation in the cult musical film La La Land (2016), where Legend played the role of musician and jazz club owner Keith—a character symbolizing the dialogue between tradition and modernity in jazz. The film received wide international acclaim, became a box office bestseller, and won numerous awards, including six Oscars.
The organizers invite all residents of Central Asia to this rare musical moment and to become part of an event that will go down in the cultural history of the region.
