Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu, cantante de neo soul, nacida el 26 de febrero de 1971 en Dallas (Texas). Creció escuchando el soul de los '70 y comenzó a vivir el hip hop de los '80, pero también está muy influida por grandes del jazz como Billie Holiday. Su verdadero nombre es Erica Abi Wright, y cursó estudios en una escuela de arte, y años después estuvo un tiempo dedicada a la docencia, hasta que en 1994 apareció en un show de D'Angelo. El manager de D'angelo, Kedar Massenburg, quedó impresionado por la actuación y la contrató para hacer una versión a dúo del tema de Marvin Gaye y Tammi Terrel "Precious Love". En poco tiempo fichó para la discográfica Entertainment, comenzó a grabar su debut "Baduizm" bajo la producción de Kedar Massenburg, y la compañía de Ron Carter, contrabajista de jazz, en alguno de los temas. El primer single "On & on" se convirtió en un hit a principios de 1997, y en marzo el álbum ya había llegado al número uno. En el álbum había una conjunción de neo soul, jazz y rap que lo hacen una gran pieza musical. Ganó dos Grammy en 1997, uno al mejor álbum de R&B y otro a la mejor interpretación vocal femenina de R&B, por el single "On & on". A este le siguieron otro por el tema "You got me" en 1999 y otro en 2002 por el single "Love of my life". Desde que en 2003 editara "Worldwide Underground" no ha vuelto a grabar ningún álbum propio pero ha colaborado con diversos artistas como Zap Mama ("Bandy, bandy" en 2003), Roy Ayers ("Searching" y "Everybody loves the sunshine" en 2004) o Sergio Mendes ("That heat" en 2006).
