artists have captivated the
media and general public
to the degree that Piince has since he
first burst upon the music scene in the
early ’80s. Initially referred to as the
’80s answer to the Beatles, his intoxi
cating sound was not only radical de
parture from anything heard previously,
but also caused an entire shift in the
musical direction of that decade.
Although his 1984 blockbuster film
and soundtrack gave him global status
as a household name, he had already
racked up an impressive three platinum
releases before the Purple Rain explo
sion was heard around the world. Prince
was only 19 years old when his first
album, For You, was considered a suc
cess both commercially and critically.
That this provocative young virtuoso
was not only a one-man band, but also
his own producer, garnered tremen
dous attention around the w orld-m u
sic critics were astonished to learn that
only one person was behind all the
vocals and instruments.
His career began in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, after teaching himself to
play the piano at the age of seven. By
the time he was 12, he had already
mastered over 20 instruments. While
still in his early teens, he had already
laid the foundation for the Madhouse
sound when he formed a band called
Champagne that played only instru
mental music. He then moved on to
form the group Grand Central (later
renamed Champagne) and, after a brief
period of recording demo tapes at Moon
Studio in Minneapolis, he headed for
New York armed with his music.
Although he was only 18, he in
sisted on producing his own records
and returned home after declining
contracts from three different record
companies. A year later, Warner Bros.
Records signed him to a three-record
contract - unheard of for a new artist
The now familiar “ produced, arranged,
composed and performed by Prince”
The disc also features the record
ing debut of a new “ family” of musi-

that Prince has
gathered together called the New Power
Generation. Featuring Levi Seacer, Jr.
(guitar); Sonny T. (bass); Tommy Bar-

Michael Bland (drums)’ rapper/dancer
Tony M. and Rosie Gaines (keyborad

the tip of new trend in music and a
surprising new direction for Prince - a
return to the live band. As Prince re
cently told Spin writer Scott Poulson-
Bryant, “ Everyone else went out and
got drum machines and computers, so
I threw mine away.” Prince and the
N.P.G. are set to visit the faithful at
arenas and stadiums throughout the
world.
Critically acclaimed for riveting
live performances and remarkably
poignant compositions, Prince consis
tently maintains his status as o a e e f the
most important musicians of the 20th
century. His primary focus continues
to be his integrity as an artist. His
