Erykah Badu

Born Erica Wright in 1971, Erykah has reached the top of the charts, yet she keeps her roots close to home. Dallas remains her base of operations and the center of her world. She lives only minutes from where she grew up in south Dallas.

Winner of four Grammy awards and with multi-platinum sales, her voice evokes the texture and color of Billie Holiday, Diana Ross and Chaka Khan while maintaining a signature sound all its own.

Beyond her artistic pursuits, Erykah has demonstrated her devotion to her community by talking to students at local high schools about the perils of promiscuity, drug abuse and the pitfalls of poor nutrition, serving as a celebrity spokeswoman for the AIDS Arms LifeWalk and giving free concerts at the Black Forest Theater, which she had refurbished in south Dallas.
