Meet Economist Lionel Richie

Captivating America’s audiences with his soulful love ballads during the 70s, Lionel Richie comes from a family connected to music. His grandmother, a classical pianist, and his uncle, a big band jazz musician and arranger were a huge influence on him. He fostered a love for music alongside his interest in the world of finances and share markets.

He completed his undergraduate education in Economics from Tuskegee University. He also headed the campus band and worked with them until 1982, after which he began his solo career. Still, Can’t Slow Down, and Hello remain timeless classics. You can’t help but fall in love with these songs!
