finetune artist: Heather Headley

b. 5 October 1974, Barataria, Trinidad, West Indies. Unlike most modern day R&B singers, Headley's roots lay in Broadway musicals, and owing to several outstanding roles, ultimately helped her obtain a solo recording contract. Headley's parents were both pastors and she started her musical training at a very early age, performing in front of audiences at the age of two, and a couple of years later, was studying piano. By the time her family relocated to Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA, when she was 15, Headley had long ago become tantalized by a wide variety of musical styles, including American sounds such as R&B, as well as more exotic sounds from her native land (including calypso and reggae). Continuing her musical studies, Headley majored in musical theatre at Chicago's Northwestern University, before landing the role of the spirited lioness, Nala, in the Broadway hit, The Lion King. Owing to the role's exposure and rave reviews, Headley landed another coveted role, in the Elton John and Tim Rice-penned musical, Elaborate Lives: The Legend Of Aida, for which she eventually won a Tony Award for her stand-out performance.

Why isn't 'He Is' listed as one of her tracks? I love that song...It was featured in the movie 'Breakin' All the Rules'.
