Georgiou developed an interest in piano at a fairly young age, eventually using the family baby grand piano to work out the chords, since no one else there played well enough to teach him. With the popularity of The Beatles, at age 15, he extended his interest to the guitar and convinced his father to pay £8 for his first instrument, and began playing it and writing songs.

Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou; 21 July 1948), commonly known by his former stage name Cat Stevens, is a British musician. He is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, educator, philanthropist, and prominent convert to Islam.
Stevens converted to Islam at the height of his fame in December, 1977, and adopted his Muslim name, Yusuf Islam, the following year.

FIRST NOTABLED  ALBUMS:

• Tea for the Tilerman.
• Teaser and the Fire cat.
• The first cut is the deepest.

The first single released from Mona Bone Jakon was "Lady D'Arbanville", which Stevens wrote about his young American girlfriend Patti D'Arbanville. 
After the end of his relationship with D'Arbanville,Stevens noted the effect it had on writing his music, saying,
"Everything I wrote while I was away was in a transitional period and reflects that. Like Patti. A year ago we split; I had been with her for two years. What I write about Patti and my family... when I sing the songs now, I learn strange things. I learn the meanings of my songs late.".

In 1973, Stevens moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as a tax exile from the United Kingdom, (however, he later donated the money to UNESCO). During that time he created the album Foreigner, which was a departure from the music that had brought him to the height of his fame. ( also Back to Earth ) 

The most successful of the compilation albums was the 1975 Greatest Hits which has sold over 4 million copies in the United States. In May 2003 he received his first Platinum Europe Award  from the IFPI for Remember Cat Stevens, The Ultimate Collection, indicating over one million European sales.

He has been given several awards for his work in promoting peace in the world, including 2003's World Award, the 2004 Man for Peace Award  and the 2007 Mediterranean Prize for Peace. In 2006, he returned to pop music, with his first album of new pop songs in 28 years, entitled An Other Cup ( Yusuf ).
 

He now goes professionally by the single name Yusuf. His newest album, Roadsinger, was released on 5 May 2009 ( explore Road singer from this post )
