Fugees. She sang at Harlem's Apollo Theater at age thirteen and soon after met
Prakazrel Pras Michel and his cousin, Wyclef Jean and the three formed the
Fugees.
In 1996 the group released their second album, which Ms. Hill co-wrote and co-
produced. The Score sold over 18 million copies, making the Fugees the biggest-
selling rap group of all time and winning them two Grammy Awards (Best Rap
Album and Best R&B Performance by a duo or group).
A few years later after meeting her long-term partner, Rohan Marley son of Bob
Marley, Ms Hill launched her solo career and released the commercially successful
and critically acclaimed album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The recording
earned her five Grammy Awards and praise from industry heavyweights such as
Public Enemy's Chuck D who admiringly described her as "sunlight" and a "Bob
Marley (of the) 21st Century.
