- Born Dallas, Texas
- Erykah Badu’s debut album, Baduizm, was released in 1997 and almost overnight established her as one of the leading and most original female voices in R&B. Often compared to the legendary Billie Holiday, Badu (born Erica Wright) has incorporated a variety of musical styles to create a unique, richly textured sound. She has also collaborated in recent years with a number of different groups, including The Roots and Burning Spear.
- David Scheinbaum’s portrait of Badu shows her in performance in 2003, the year in which she released her fourth album, Worldwide Underground, and won a Grammy Award for the best R&B song, “Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop).”
