“Music is part of God's universe.”- Cat Stevens
Cat Stevens started out in the music business in the mid 1960s continuing into the 1970s. He began releasing hit after hit on his two most popular albums, "Tea for the Tillerman" and "Teaser and the Firecat." These albums brought about his most popular and well known songs such as “Wild World” and “Peace Train.”

Stevens' gentleness and softness in "The First Cut is the Deepest" continues to take over the minds of listeners where he appears to sing beyond the page, but still captures the voice of a true soft rock artist within an intimate setting.
After the overwhelming fame he received from his fans, he slowly began fading away from the limelight. Stevens began to study the Koran and converted to the Muslim religion in 1978. He once stated "I'm no longer seeking applause and fame," and from that point auctioned all his personal possessions and belongings.
After accepting the Muslim religion into his mind, body, and soul, he changed his name to Yusef Islam. He stopped creating music throughout the 1980s and 1990s, but around 2000, he founded his own music label called Mountain of Light.
Since leaving the world known as Cat Stevens, he entered back onto Atlantic Records, the label he left back in the 1970s, and released new albums still using his folk background, but incorporated his religious beliefs within the music and lyrics.
