lennonono

If John Lennon had only been one of the four members of the Beatles, his artistic immortality would already have been assured — but it was only after his marriage to artist Yoko Ono in 1969 that the figure the world now recognizes as "John Lennon" truly came into being.

wu-tang clan

One of the most renowned hip-hop acts of all time, Wu-Tang Clan has remained a household name since the release of its seminal debut, Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, in 1993 and has inspired generations of artists across genres. Besides music, the Wu-Tang brand is known for its entrepreneurial savvy and influence in several industries including art, film, fashion and technology.

miles-davis

From his arrival on the national scene in 1945 until his death in 1991, Miles Davis made music that grew from an uncanny talent for hearing the future and a headstrong desire to play it. From his beginnings in the circle of modern jazz, he came to intuit new worlds of sound — forever forging ahead.

tori-amos

Tori Amos is a Grammy-nominated legend with a celebrated 17-album catalog. She was named one of VH1’s “100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll” in 1999 and made history by becoming the first woman to have a top 10 album on the U.S. Billboard charts in the classical, alternative, and rock categories simultaneously.
