“John Legend is an extraordinary talent. When you can connect an artist’s life story with the lyrics and passion behind their music you gain a truly memorable appreciation for their craft,” says Fontaine. “I was honored to be able to talk to him about some of the challenges he’s faced in his life and then became the luckiest fan to witness one of our masters in such an intimate setting.”
