Erykah Badu

"Erica Abi Wright (born February 26, 1971), better known by her stage name Erykah Badu American R&B, soul, and hip hop singer and songwriter, whose work encompasses elements of jazz. She is best known for her role in the rise of the neo soul sub-genre, and for her eccentric, cerebral musical stylings and sense of fashion. Early in her career, Badu was recognizable for wearing very large and colorful headwraps. For her musical sensibilities, she has often been compared to jazz great Billie Holiday. She was a core member of the Soulquarians, and is also an actress having appeared in a number of films playing a range of supporting roles in movies such as Blues Brothers 2000, The Cider House Rules, and House of D. Badu has collaborated with The Roots (who had previously handled production duties on a number of tracks on her album, Baduizm) on their breakthrough 1999 release, Things Fall Apart. She was featured on the song 'You Got Me,' co-written by Jill Scott, which hit the top 40 and won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group."
