Aaliyah (16th January 1979-25th August 2001)
Born in Detroit, she became a sensation with the release of her 1994 debut album, "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number," and the two hit singles, "Back And Forth" and "At Your Best (You Are Love)." She was only 15 years old when she married her producer R. Kelly, which caused a great stir in the media. In 1996, she released her second album, "One In A Million," a ground-breaking achievement in the R&B world.

One In A Million
After that, she became interested to record music for soundtracks. "Journey To The Past," an epic ballad, was released as a single for Anastasia, but it was in 1998 when she released "Are You That Somebody?" taken from the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack, when the whole world noticed a change. Aaliyah and her producer Timbaland managed to create even more unique sound that was fresh and original. The song became a hit even in Europe and many R&B artists followed Aaliyah's style.

Romeo Must Die and the all important third album.
She took the film theme one step further and starred in one herself. It was "Romeo Must Die," alongside Jet Li, which was her big screen debut. The film also had a soundtrack featuring Aaliyah and the first single, "Try Again," gave her another worldwide smash in 2000. In 2001 she returned with a new single, "We Need A Resolution," which featured Timbaland again. Her third album, "Aaliyah," sounded very original, and gave her great success. She was about to bloom and become a true diva.

Rock The Boat
Aaliyah went to Bahamas to shoot the video for "Rock The Boat," a second single from the album, but sadly, it proved to be the last one. On the way back from Bahamas, Aaliyah died in a plane crash, along with eight of her crew, because of the human irresponsibility of taking nine people aboard a plane that was supposed to be carrying six at most

Queen Of The Damned
Aaliyah's last movie was the worldwide smaash 'Queen Of The Damned' with Stewart townsend.
A dark, stylistic horror adapted from the book by Anne Rice and a sequel to Intervire With The Vampire.
Scary and Sexy with spectacular music and special efects throughout.
This movie helped to set Aaliyah apart from the others and was sure to have a long and successful movie career if it wasn't for her tragic death.

In The Pipeline
One of the saddest things was that Aaliyah had so much in the pipeline, duetting with Nine Inch Nails,
so many film offers such as the Matrix 2, another album in the pipeline.
