Background
Stevie Nicks is a prominent name in the Rock Music industry, and her charming personality won many hearts, old and young. Nicks was born Stephanie Nicks on May 26, 1948, in Phoenix, Arizona. Her zodiac sign is Gemini and her ethnicity is part German, part English and part Irish. She is the daughter of Jess and Barbara Nicks. Her grandfather, Aaron Jess Nicks, introduced her to music when the singer was four; he would teach her to sing duets with him.
As a child, Nicks often moved around the country. She received her instrument, a ‘Goya’ Guitar, at the age of 16, and proceeded to write her first song, ‘I’ve Loved and Lost, and I’m Sad but not Blue.’ She spent a lot of her time making and listening to music, finally joining her first band, the Changing Times when she was in high school in California. Nicks met Lindsey Buckingham during her senior year in high school. They started writing and recording songs as a duo in 1972. They soon got a record deal with Polydor Records and released their first album “Buckingham Nicks” (1973). The album wasn’t well-received, but the duo didn’t give up. In 1974, she joined the band, Fleetwood Mac, after drummer Mick Fleetwood invited her and Buckingham. As a band, they released their first album, “Fleetwood Mac” (1975), and Nick’s song ‘Rhiannon’ was voted as one of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” by “Rolling Stone.” ‘Landslide’ also became a hit. They released their second album, “Rumors” (1976), where Nicks sang the song ‘Dreams’. It went on to become the only Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit single. The album became a bestseller in 1977 and won Album of the Year in 1978. Nicks went on to record another album “Tusk” (1979), as part of the band, while also writing and recording demos for a solo project. In 1980, along with Danny Goldberg and Paul Fishkin, she founded Modern Records, where they recorded and released Nicks’s songs. The album, “Bella Donna” (1981), reached number one on the Billboard 200 charts, earning her the nickname “The Reigning Queen of Rock’n’Roll.” Her second album, “The Wild Heart” (1983), became a platinum hit and her third album, “Rock a Little” (1985), was a commercial success. Nicks released many successful albums after that; most of them solo, and some of them with her old band, Fleetwood Mac.
