Lauryn Hill (born May 25, 1975 in South Orange, New Jersey) is an African-American R&B singer, rapper, songwriter, and record producer, initially establishing her reputation as the most visible and vocal member of The Fugees.
Lauryn Hill attended Columbia High School in South Orange, where she began singing and acting at a very young age. Hill's acting roles included the TV show As the World Turns (as "Kira Johnson" in 1991), and the film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, the latter of which showcased her vocal abilities. Though the Fugees had originally formed in 1988, Hill's membership was disrupted by her acting and her education at Columbia University. The Fugees' first album, Blunted on Reality, was much-hyped but fell far short of expectations. This was followed by The Score, a multi-platinum selling album that established all three Fugees (Hill, Pras Michel and Wyclef Jean) as international successes.
Hill's other acting work includes the film King of the Hill (as "Arletta the Elevator Operator"), the play "Club 127," and the motion pictures Hav Plenty (1997) and Restaurant (1998). She appeared as a singer in the soundtracks for Conspiracy Theory in 1997 (on the track "Can't take My Eyes Off of You") and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood in 2001 (on the track "Selah" ).
