Stevie Wonder remains a legend in the music industry, one of the most accomplished vocalists and musicians to ever do it, so it's natural that he passed the genes down pretty well.

The 74-year-old star is the patriarch of a large family, having welcomed nine children over the course of his lifetime with five women, and all of them have followed in his footsteps in one way or the other.

Stevie has spoken fondly in the past about imbibing his love for the arts and some fatherly advice for his children, focusing on being a present father, despite not having a relationship still with many of their mothers.

Read on to learn more about the singer's nine children, from fellow musicians to fashion designers…
