Stephanie “Stevie” Nicks was born on May 26th, 1948 in Pheonix, Arizona. Her grandfather Aaron Jess “A.J” Nicks Sr. was a country music singer, but never made it to the big stage. He played a role in Nicks’ early love for country music by teaching her how to sing duets by the age of four. Her mother, Barabara Nicks was a housewife, and her father Jess Nicks worked in the meat packing industry for a majority of Nicks’ life. She went on to study education as an English teacher at San Jose State University but dropped out soon after to pursue a career in music. Nicks joined a band “Fritz” with her boyfriend at the time, Lindsey Buckingham. The duo later joined Fleetwood Mac, a British band that went on to record several worldwide hit albums.

After “Fritz” broke up in 1972 Nicks and Buckingham continued to write and record albums as a duo and signed a record deal with Polydor Records with their first album “Buckingham Nicks,” in 1973. After a few years of touring and continuing to make music Nicks and Buckingham got in contact with Fleetwood Mac’s lead guitarist, Mick Fleetwood, that lead to their welcome into Fleetwood Mac in 1975. One of their most popular albums “Rumors,” included the bands first Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit single, “Dreams.”
Nicks and Buckingham soon broke-up but continued to work together in the band. By the early 80’s Nicks decided to go solo and record her first album, “Bella Donna,” which had four hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100, where she got her name as “The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll,” from Rolling Stones. Nicks found new love and married Kim Anderson in 1983, but they divorced just a few months later. Through the years, Nicks went on to do over eighteen solo tours including guest artists like Tom Petty and Rod Stewart.
