NEW YORK (AP) - Grammy Award-winner John Legend credits being a father for his push for social justice.

He'll be singing at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert on Monday, honoring this year's winner, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

Legend performed at the concert in 2006 but this time goes with the new role as a father - and a second baby on the way.

He says that "puts a little more focus on what the world is going to be."

Actor David Oyelowo (oh-YEL'-oh-woh) will host and its highly likely Legend will sing "Glory" from the film "Selma" starring Oyelowo. It can be seen live online .
