What is Prince's birth date (month day, year)?

Prince was born on June 7, 1958.

His full name was Prince Rogers Nelson, and he was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both of his parents were musicians: his father, John L. Nelson, was a pianist and songwriter, while his mother, Mattie Della, was a singer. That musical household helped shape the young Prince’s early development.

Prince became a professional recording artist as a teenager and signed with Warner Bros. Records at age 18. His debut album, For You, arrived in 1978, two years after he signed the contract. He later became one of the central figures in the Minneapolis sound, blending funk, rock, pop, R&B, soul, and electronic production.

The date is sometimes confused with June 7, 1957, but 1958 is the correct year. Prince died on April 21, 2016, at age 57, leaving behind an unusually large catalog in which he wrote, produced, arranged, and performed much of the music himself.
