Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979 – August 25, 2001), better known as Aaliyah, was a multiple Grammy Award-nominated American Music Award-winning American singer, dancer, actress, model, and teen idol. Introduced to audiences by R&B/pop singer R. Kelly, Aaliyah became famous during the mid-1990s with several hit records from the songwriting/production team of Missy Elliott and Timbaland. She was nominated for exactly nine Grammy Awards, and won three AMAs as well.
Despite her short career, she sold approximately 32 million records worldwide. In addition to commercial success, her collaborations with Timbaland helped shape the sound of R&B in the latter half of the 1990s. She also modeled for Tommy Hilfiger and starred in two motion pictures before being killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas.
