Prince Rogers Nelson was a musical phenomenon who constantly reinvented himself throughout his long and colorful career, changing his style and even his name to keep his artistic output fresh and funky. Eccentric and flamboyant with an impressive vocal range, Prince influenced many other musicians with his trademark mix of funk, rock and R&B.
In addition to his remarkable musical output, Prince helped other performers on their path to stardom, written songs for a variety of artists and even directed (and starred in) his own movies. He produced over 35 albums, including ten that went platinum in a career that spanned 5 decades, with 100m records sold worldwide. Fans around the world mourned his untimely death in 2016 but continue to buy records, books and memorabilia.
Paul Sexton is a British journalist and broadcaster who began writing for Record Mirror while still at school. He is a regular writer for the Sunday Times, Billboard, Music Week and more. He’s written and produced documentaries for the BBC, Virgin and Emirates. His successful BBC Radio 2 documentary Prince And Me featured contributions from Andre Cymone, Susannah Melvoin, Beverley Knight, Suzanne Vega and more.
