Aaliyah Dana Haughton was a singer, model, and actress from Brooklyn, New York.

Even though Aaliyah was born in New York, she was raised by her family in Detroit, Michigan.

She started showing an aptitude for music at an early age: when she was 10 she was featured in ‘Star Show,’ a talent competition for TV created by Alfred Masini and hosted by Ed McMahon in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s.

Her appearance on the show was the start of something big: she signed with Jive Records when she was 12 and went on to record her first major studio album, ‘Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number’ in 1994.

The album sold millions and was soon certified double platinum by the RIAA.

Aaliyah tragically passed away in 2001 when the plane she was traveling in crashed shortly after taking off from the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas.
