Mini bio
How it started.
Born Stephanie Lynn Nicks in Phoenix, Stevie began writing songs as a teenager. She and Lindsey Buckingham sang together in Fritz before forming the duo Buckingham Nicks. Their self-titled 1973 album did not become a hit, but “Frozen Love” caught Mick Fleetwood’s attention. Buckingham would join Fleetwood Mac only if Stevie could come too.
The songs fans found her through.
Their arrival led to Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 self-titled album, with Stevie’s “Rhiannon” and “Landslide.” On Rumours in 1977, she wrote and sang “Dreams,” the band’s only US number-one single. The album won the 1978 Grammy for Album of the Year.
Making room for a solo voice.
Stevie released Bella Donna in 1981 while continuing with Fleetwood Mac. It reached number one on the Billboard 200 and included “Edge of Seventeen,” “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and “Leather and Lace” with Don Henley. The Wild Heart, Rock a Little and later albums gave her a parallel solo career.
The way she writes.
In her 2016 Creative Independent interview, Stevie described starting with an idea or feeling, turning it into a poem and later taking it to the piano. In 2019 she became the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, following Fleetwood Mac’s 1998 induction.
