Lauryn Noelle Hill (born May 26, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, and actress.[2] She began her career while still in high school as a member of the Fugees. She rose to greater fame when she released her first solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.[3] The album received critical acclaim, won many awards, including five Grammy Awards, and was commercially successful.[4] After the release of her debut album, she took a four-year break. In 2002, Hill released MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, an album with more personal content that was recorded live, mostly solo with an acoustic guitar.[5] In recent years, she has recorded songs for soundtracks and has performed at secular music festivals.
