Yusuf Cat Stevens is a singer-songwriter who first enjoyed success more than 50 years ago.
He was born Steven Demetre Georgiou in July 1948. His Greek Cypriot father and his Swedish mother ran a restaurant in the West End of London, and he helped out there from an early age. He also became interested in music, writing and singing his own songs, partly inspired by the success of The Beatles.
Under the name Cat Stevens, he was just 18 when he had his first hit, and soon found himself on tour with Engelbert Humperdinck and Jimi Hendrix. His career came to a sudden halt in 1969, when he contracted tuberculosis and was forced out of the limelight for a year of recuperation. It was also a time of reflection. He emerged a changed man in 1970 - a sensitive singer-songwriter whose albums, including Tea for the Tillerman, and Teaser and the Firecat, sold millions of copies around the world.
While enjoying fame and success, he also thought more deeply about religious faith, an interest which increased after he nearly drowned while swimming in the Pacific. He became a Muslim in 1977, changed his name to Yusuf Islam and walked away from music. He soon became one of the UK's most high-profile Muslims, and was often asked to comment about aspects of Islam. For two decades, he didn’t touch his guitar, but in 2006 he made a comeback with an album entitled An Other Cup. He has released three more albums since then and has recently recorded a new version of perhaps his best-known work, Tea for the Tillerman.
Yusuf lives in Dubai with his wife Fawziah. They have four daughters and one son who has followed in his father's musical footsteps.

以猫-史蒂文斯（Cat Stevens）为名，他在18岁时就有了自己的第一首作品，并很快发现自己在与恩格尔伯特-汉伯丁克（Engelbert Humperdinck）和吉米-亨德里克斯（Jimi Hendrix）一起巡演。他的职业生涯在1969年突然停止，当时他感染了肺结核，被迫离开了人们的视线，进行了一年的休养。这也是一个反思的时期。1970年，他脱胎换骨--成为一名敏感的创作型歌手，他的专辑，包括《Tea for the Tillerman》和《Teaser and the Firecat》，在全世界售出了数百万张。
