🎤 From an early age, Aaliyah participated in voice lessons and performed at weddings, church choir and charity events.

As a child, Aaliyah traveled with Knight and was able to appear in commercials and television programs. She appeared on Star Search at the age of ten.

🎤 At the age of 12, Aaliyah was signed to a record label and introduced to recording artist and producer R. Kelly. When Aaliyah auditioned for the Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts, she sang the song “Ave Maria” in Italian. Despite the pressure and time constraints of all her performances and commitments, she maintained a 4.0 grade point average while in high school.
In 1994 her debut album Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number was released under her mononym “Aaliyah.” The album did very well, selling 38,000 copies in its first week. Her first singles included “Back & Forth,” a cover of the Isley Brothers’ “At Your Best (You are Love),” and the album’s title track, “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number.”

🎤 Aaliyah began to work on her second film, Queen of the Damned, in which she played the role of the ancient vampire, Queen Akasha.

After filming a video for her song “Rock the Boat,” in the Bahamas, Aaliyah and eight others boarded a plane for Miami. The plane took off and rose 200 feet before plunging and crashing.
