Who is Stevie Nicks?
Stevie Nicks, birthed as Stephanie Lynn Nicks, was born on May 26, 1948, in Phoenix, Arizona. Because her father, Jess Nicks, was the president of Greyhound, the family moved throughout the country frequently. Her nickname “Stevie” comes from her pronouncing her name as “tee-dee” as a toddler. Her grandfather trained her to sing duets with him when she was very little. Nicks received a Goya guitar at the age of 16 and began writing her tunes.
Nicks met Lindsey Buckingham, her eventual musical and love partner while attending Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, California. Buckingham encouraged her to join his psychedelic rock band Fritz, which had little success as an opening act for performers such as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin in the late 1960s. Nicks and Buckingham both attended San Jose State University, but she dropped out to pursue her musical career full-time.
