Tutto su di me
Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas (born October 13, 1980), professionally known as Ashanti, is a Grammy Award-winning American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, model, and fashion designer who rose to fame in the early 2000s.

She is most famous for her eponymous debut album Ashanti which featured the hit song "Foolish", and sold 503,000 copies (gold) in its first week on release in the USA in April 2002, a record-breaking feat. In the same week, she became the first female performer to simultaneously hold the top two places on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with "Foolish", and "What's Luv" (with Fat Joe). She broke records again by having three Top Ten songs (Foolish, What's Luv, and Always on Time (with Ja Rule)) on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the same week

Early Life
Ashanti was born in Glen Cove, New York. She inherited a love of music from her mother Tina, a former dance teacher, and her father Thomas, a former singer. Her mother named her after the Ashanti tribe in Ghana. In this tribe, the women have power and influence, and Ashanti's mother wanted her daughter to follow that model. Ashanti also means thanks in Kiswahili. Her grandfather, James, was a civil-rights activist who associated with Martin Luther King, Jr. during the 1960s. Growing up, Ashanti took dance lessons and joined the church choir. Ashanti went to Bernice Johnson Cultural Arts Center where she studied different dance styles including tap, jazz, ballet, African, modern, and hip hop. She danced with the Senior Pro Ensemble at Carnegie Hall, the Apollo Theater, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Avery Fisher Hall, and the Black Spectrum Theater. She also performed at the 1994 Caribbean Awards and dancing with Judith Jamison of the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. With actress and chore
Early Career
Ashanti regrouped by throwing herself into schoolwork, cheerleading, and running on her school's track team. She was an honor student in English and belonged to the English club where she began writing poetry. She was also in the Drama club and performed in a few plays. However, her skills in the 100- and 200-meter dash as well as the triple jump, her specialty reaching as far as 35 feet , earned her athletic scholarships to Princeton & Hampton University. But she put college pursuits aside when Epic Records came calling with a contract in 1998. However, the label's management changes quickly left Ashanti out in the cold. Undaunted, she continued to croon at local New York clubs and began hanging out at the Murder Inc. recording studio, hoping for another big break.

Ironically, Ashanti wrote and sang background on the song "Ain't It Funny" (Murder Remix) sung by Jennifer Lopez which was also in the top 10 charts at the same time as "Foolish", "Always on Time" (with Ja Rule), and "What's Luv" (with Fat Joe). In 2002, she was acclaimed as the "Princess of Hip Hop and R&B." By 2007 Ashanti had sold more than 7 million albums in the U.S., and more than 12 million albums worldwide.

Ashanti cites Mary J. Blige, Ella Fitzgerald, and Blue Magic as her musical influences. She is currently working on her fourth studio album entitled Incredible, which is due out sometime in late 2007.

      And that angelic voice you hear in the backround,
      oh that's our new princess of Hip Hop in R&B yo
      Miss Ashanti.

      [Verse 1]
      Boy you fill me with so much joy,
      you give whatever it is I need
      my love here to stay won't ever leave,
      so glad that you fell in love with me.

      [Bridge]
      My love is so good that I wouldn't be without you
      babe,
      couldn't see me without you babe.
      My love is so good that I wouldn't be without you
      babe couldn't see me without you baby.

      [Chorus]
      all my life I've been searching for you,

      Hmmm that I wouldn't be without you babe
