Date of Birth : Jan 12th 1980
Two time Grammy nominated American R&B singer, songwriter and actress. Born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, she debuted in 2002 with the album All I Have, primarily co written and produced by mentor Rich Harrison.
“1 Thing”, the lead single from her second album, Touch (2005), introduced elements of D.C.’s go-go, and became her biggest hit to date. Her third album Because I Love It, had a international release in 2007.
In the fall of 2002, she once again continued solo and released a cover of Diana Ross’ 1980 single “I’m Coming Out” as a single for the soundtrack to the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan. Afterwards, in 2003, Amerie returned to the music scene briefly as a featured vocalist, first on LL Cool J’s “Paradise” (a top twenty entry in the UK and a top forty single in the U.S.) and later on DJ Kayslay’s “Too Much for Me” singing background. Although their videos received attention from digital music video channels, none of the singles became major hits.
Around this time, Amerie spent some time as the host of a brand new show on BET called The Center. However, she left the show before her contract was up because she had been offered a supporting role as Mia Thompson in the 2004 romantic comedy First Daughter alongside Katie Holmes, Michael Keaton, Lela Rochon, and Marc Blucas.
