# Prince (@prince)

Prince was a American singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and performer. The work is associated with genre fusion, virtuoso musicianship, studio control, erotic and spiritual themes, and visual self-fashioning. Major examples include 1999, Purple Rain, Sign o' the Times, extensive productions for other artists, and celebrated live performances. A balanced account also considers his struggle for ownership and artistic control, including his name change during a dispute with Warner Bros..
