Stevie Wonder was blind from birth because he was premature.
Wonder was born prematurely and was never able to see as a result, but he threw himself into music from a young age.
Wonder was born Stevland Hardaway Judkins , and his mother changed his name to Stevland Hardaway Morris when she remarried . One day when he was performing for his friends , Ronnie White of The Miracles saw him and was amazed by his musical talents . White brought him to Motown founder Berry Gordy , who signed him immediately and gave him the new name " Little Stevie Wonder " ( he dropped the " Little " when he grew up ) because of his incredible musical talents .
I assume they were all eight at some point. "Little Stevie Wonder" was the first African American popular artist to star that young. Michael Jackson was five, but he came about 10 years later. So yes, Stevie Wonder was the first to star that young.
His first hit recording was "Fingerips-Part 2" in July, 1963
