Aaliyah was an American singer whose first album, Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, sold three million copies in the United States. Her second album was likewise a smash hit, and she quickly established herself as one of the hottest young idols of the 1990s. She had acquired her singing abilities from her singer mother, who had been interested in music since she was a child. Gladys Maria Knight, a recording artist and a close cousin, was instrumental in bringing young Aaliyah to the entertainment industry. She accompanied Gladys on several trips and started auditioning for advertisements and television shows. At the tender age of 12, she struck gold and secured a contract with Jive Records and her uncle Barry Hankerson's Blackground Records. Her first album, which she recorded at the age of 14, was a smash success and is credited for defining R&B in the 1990s. She went on to have a tremendously successful singing career, and she quickly moved into acting, making her film debut in "Romeo Must Die," alongside martial artist Jet Li. She also provided four songs to the film's soundtrack, serving as an executive producer. At the age of 22, the budding talent was tragically killed in an airplane accident in 2001.
She was married to R. Kelly from August 30, 1994 until their annulment on February 7, 1995.
