Fantasia
In 2004, North Carolina native, Fantasia Barrino rose to fame when she was a winner of the reality singing competition, American Idol. She released her first number one single, “I Believe” and released her platinum selling debut album, Free Yourself. She released those top-charter singles, “Truth Is,” “When I See You,” “Hood Boy,” or “Doin’ Me.” Fantasia received her first Grammy for the song, “Bittersweet.” A few setbacks in her career but in 2013, she released her empowering singles, “Lose to Win,” and “Without Me,” featuring Kelly Rowland and Missy Elliott. Fantasia’s latest LP, Side Effects of You allowed her fans to see her growth and maturity as an artist and woman. 10 years later, Ms. Barrino is fully aware the significance of her voice and understands she was destined to be a dynamic singer. Fantasia would be added to the list because Biggie always said you can have an amazing voice but people would pay attention to your delivery on stage and Fantasia knows how to rock the house especially when she is performing live for her fans.
