Where was Stevie Wonder born?

Stevie Wonder was born in Saginaw, Michigan.

He was born Stevland Hardaway Morris on May 13, 1950. Saginaw is a city in central Michigan, near the Saginaw River and Lake Huron. His family later moved to Detroit, where he grew up and began developing as a musician.

Wonder was born six weeks premature and became blind shortly after birth. Despite that, he learned several instruments as a child, including piano, harmonica, and drums. His musical abilities attracted attention while he was still very young.

A common mix-up is confusing Wonder’s birthplace with Detroit, the city most closely associated with his career. Detroit was crucial because it was home to Motown Records, which signed him as a child performer. His early success there made him one of the label’s most important artists.
