Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill Biography

"Lauryn Noel Hill" (born May 25, 1975) is an American recording artist, musician, producer and actress. Early in her career, she established her reputation in the hip-hop world as a member of the Fugees. In 1998, she launched her solo career with the release of the commercially successful and critically acclaimed album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill". The recording earned Hill five Grammy Awards, including the coveted Album of the Year. Following the success of her debut album, Hill largely dropped out of public view, in part due to her displeasure with fame and the music industry. After a four-year hiatus, she released "MTV Unplugged No. 2.0," a live recording of "deeply personal songs" performed mostly solo with an acoustic guitar. Hill also participated in a short-lived Fugees reunion during the mid-2000s. Hill is the mother of five children with Rohan Marley, the fourth son of reggae musician Bob Marley.
