In an interview, John Legend discusses his upbringing in Springfield, Ohio, detailing the challenges posed by his mother's struggle with depression and the family dynamics due to his parents' divorce. After living a sheltered life until the age of 11, he began attending public school, a transition that was difficult, especially as he was younger than his peers. Despite these challenges, his musical talents flourished, helping him navigate social situations and eventually leading to his successful career.
During my childhood, I was really sheltered and homeschooled by my mom. She did a great job, allowing me to skip two grades.
When my parents divorced, that had a huge impact on me as a child. My mother became emotionally unavailable after a family death.
