   Urban Legends are stories that have been told and retold around college campuses, slumber parties and campfires for decades. Some date back as early as the 1930’s.

The influx of modern horror movies and the Internet has only strengthened their popularity and believability in recent years.

Not yet out of his teens, Legend was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" in 1998. After completing college, he moved to New York, where he began to build a loyal following playing in nightclubs and releasing CDs that he would sell at shows. He ... became an in-demand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide array of artists, including Alicia Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson, and Kanye West. It wasn't until West signed the young talent to his new label that he adopted the Legend name with 2004's Solo Sessions Vol. 1: Live at the Knitting Factory.
