born Aaliyah Dana Haughton on January 16, 1979 in Brooklyn, New York, USA, died 25 August 2001,
Marsh Harbour, Abaco Island, Bahamas, West Indies. Although she grew up in Detroit, Michigan, Aaliyah
[ pronounced Ah-Lee-Yah ("highest, most exalted one" in Swahili) ],
initially came to attention as part of the "new jill swing" movement in the mid-90s. Her early career was
fostered by R. Kelly [ although rumors of a personal relationship were never substantiated ], and 1994's
debut Age Ain't Nothing But A Number included the US Top 10 singles "Back & Forth" and "At Your Best
(You Are Loved)". She traveled to Kelly's home in Chicago for the sessions while she was still a student
at the Detroit High School of the Performing Arts. She remained a "straight A's" student throughout the
first stage of her recording career, persevering with her education despite commercial success. After
breaking her partnership with Kelly, Aaliyah released 1996's superior follow-up, One In A Million,
on which she worked with hotshot producer Timbaland. Soundtrack work followed, with contributions to
Anastasia ("Journey To The Past") and Dr. Dolittle ("Are You That Somebody?"). Aaliyah also began
filming on her screen debut in Andrzej Bartkowiak's Romeo Must Die. "Try Again", taken from the movie
soundtrack, went to the top of the US singles chart in June 2000. The following year's self-titled
third album demonstrated a new maturity and confidence, with Aaliyah publically bidding farewell
to her teenage years and fashioning a bold new sound with collaborator Timbaland. Tragedy struck
in August 2001 when, after filming a video in the Bahamas, Aaliyah and various members of her record
company attempted to fly home. The small light aircraft crashed killing Aaliyah and her entourage.
Her third album posthumously climbed to the top of the US charts. Aaliyah will always stay in our hearts.
