Jill Scott A Real "Super Natural" Star
Birthday: April 4, 1972
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Hailing from the City of Brotherly Love, Jill Scott is the epitome of passion and power with her skillful songwriting and spectacular live performances. Scott initially attended Temple University in hopes of becoming a teacher; then things took a turn and she decided to pursue a career in entertainment as a spoken word artist, performing at live poetry readings.
Jill eventually got her big break when Amir "QuestLove" Thompson of The Roots invited her to join the band in the studio. They collaborated on the song "You Got Me," which went on to win a Grammy in 2000. That year she released her debut album, "Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1" and followed up with "Experience: Jill Scott 826+" the next summer. In 2003 she earned a Grammy for her hit song "A Long Walk."
Scott expanded her résumé, putting her acting skills to use by appearing in several episodes of UPN's "Girlfriends." The artist saw the release of her second studio album, "Beautifully Human: Words and Sounds, Vol. 2," in 2004.
