John Legend
Nine time Grammy Award winner John Legend announced his North American Tour today, which will kick off on October 16, 2012 in Clearwater, FL, at the Ruth Eckerd Hall. The fall tour will sweep through the U.S., stopping in over 20 cities including New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago. Legend will be joined by two breakout performers on his tour: HomeSchool Recording Artist Stacy Barthe on the first leg, and Lianne La Havas on the second. Tickets for the tour go on sale beginning Friday, August 17, 2012. Check www.johnlegend.com for more information.
“I'm thrilled to be back on the road,” said Legend. “I look forward to seeing my fans across the country and sharing a beautiful night with them.”
This summer, Legend released one of the hottest singles of his career, the chart-topping hit “Tonight (Best You’ve Ever Had)” featuring Ludacris, which has been #1 for six weeks at Urban AC radio. The song is heavily featured in Steve Harvey’s film, Think Like a Man. Legend was most recently a judge on ABC’s hit music show Duets.
John's debut album, Get Lifted, received eight Grammy Award nominations; it won Best New Artist, Best R&B album and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Ordinary People” while selling more than three million copies worldwide. His follow-up album, Once Again, achieved RIAA platinum sales certification and a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "Heaven." In 2008, John released Evolver, his third Top 10 album, which included the hit single “Green Light” featuring Andre 3000. Recently, Legend teamed up with The Roots to release the socially conscious album, Wake Up! The album was nominated for five Grammy Awards and won Best R&B Album, Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B song (for “Shine” - an original composition also featured in Academy Award-winning director Davis Guggenheim’s documentary film Waiting for Superman) along with two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Album and Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration.
John Legend is teaming up with Tickets-for-Charity® to offer fans some of the best seats in the house. For every ticket sold, one dollar will go to benefit The Show Me Campaign, an organization Legend founded to help break the cycle of poverty through education. These tickets will be available exclusively at www.ticketsforcharity.com.

Stacy Barthe
Packing a background as exotic as it is homegrown, Atlanta-based Haitian/Dominican songwriter Stacy Barthe has earned a startstudded client list in her short time on the scene.
With credits for the likes of Black Eyed Peas, Britney Spears, Keri Hilson, Enrique Iglesias, New Kids on the Block, Ciara, Tiffany Evans, Cassie, and Diddy to name a few, Barthe has become one of the most indemand young songwriting talents. So much so that Universal Music Publishing took notice of her work, and signed her to their already impressive assembly.
Barthe's work combines a nostalgic noise with unique new sounds, and just like her idols Diane Warren and Martha Walsh, she is masterfully coupling lyrics rife with raw emotion with uninhibited music.
"As I have observed life and those around me, I noticed that almost everyone I run into has some form of insecurity that they battle with. I believe the music I create fosters security and encourages those that hear it to embrace what makes them different and to find the beauty within their situation," says Barthe.
A performer as well as a gifted songwriter, Barthe is already a wellrounded success story at just 23 years old. Barthe's experiences traveling the world, attending St. John's University, and being raised in a multicultural home provided her with the unique and diverse view of the world that she now applies to her music. She has proven that she can take any genre or style of music put in her path and turn it into a hit, and in doing so, change the industry's expectation of what a pop song can and should be.
