Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979 August 25, 2001), simply known
as Aaliyah meaning "The highest most exalted,
among the best", was an American R&B and pop singer and actress.
Introduced to audiences by R&B-pop singer R. Kelly, Aaliyah became
famous during the mid-1990s with several hit records from the
songwriting-production team of Missy Elliott and Timbaland. She found
success with her debut album Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, while
introducing a "street but sweet" style which would become her trademark
throughout her career followed by two more albums, One In a Million and
the self-titled Aaliyah.
In addition to Aaliyah's commercial success, collaborations with
Timbaland helped shape the sound of R&B in the later half of the
1990s. She also modeled for Tommy Hilfiger, appeared in a Victoria
Secret ad and starred in three motion pictures, Romeo Must Die, Queen of
the Damned and Matrix Reloaded, before she and eight others died in a
plane crash in the Bahamas on August 25, 2001 after filming the music
video for the single "Rock The Boat".
