American singer
Born: January 16, 1979

Aaliyah was an American singer, best known for her debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number,” which sold three million copies in the United States. Her second album was also a resounding success, and she soon became one of the hottest youth icons of the 1990s. She had inherited her singing talent from her vocalist mother and was interested in music from an early age. Recording artist Gladys Maria Knight was her close relative and played a major role in introducing young Aaliyah to show business. She traveled often with Gladys and began auditioning for commercials and television programs. She got lucky and signed a deal with “Jive Records” and was also signed by her Uncle Barry Hankerson’s “Blackground Records” at the age of 12. Her debut album, which was recorded when she was just 14 years old, proved to be a sensational hit and is said to have defined R&B in the 1990s. A successful singing career followed, and she soon ventured into films as well, making her debut as an actress in “Romeo Must Die,” starring opposite martial artist Jet Li. She also served as an executive producer of the film’s soundtrack, to which she contributed four songs. The rising star met an abrupt end when she died aged 22 in an aircraft crash in 2001.

Aaliyah’s 5 most popular quotes

• I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.
• Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want. If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But don’t think it’s going to be easy. It’s hard!
• I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.
• It’s in how you carry yourself. I’ve always been a very mature person, and I’ve always known what I wanted. And I go after it no matter what.
• I go through the same problems all young people go through. Being in this business, I accept that there are positives and negatives but having a strong family base and a belief in God enables me to weather the storms.

American musician
Born: January 14, 1969

Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters frontman, will always be remembered as the drummer for Nirvana. But, drumming for a great band such as Nirvana is not Dave’s only claim in the world of music. Dave’s musical career began at age 15 as the guitarist and later as the drummer for a punk band called “Freak Baby.” A year later, he was behind the drums for “Mission Impossible” and later that summer drumming for “Dain Bramage”. Another year down the road, an opportunity to drum with one of his favorite punk bands, “Scream,” was just too great to pass up. This leads us to 1990, when “Scream” seemed to be coming to an end and “Nirvana” was in need of a drummer. While recording and touring with “Nirvana,” Dave continued to write lyrics and music that he would record during breaks with the band. After the tragic end of “Nirvana,” Dave eventually turned to his music to create Foo Fighters. While playing guitar and singing with Foo Fighters is his main job, you can also find Dave channeling his musical genius throughout the world of rock. Dave has drummed for Queens of the Stone Age and Killing Joke. He has also recorded and guest performed with his buddies Tenacious D. All the while recording for his own hardcore project, “Probot”.

Dave Grohl’s 5 most popular quotes

• Always have the highest bar for yourself. Wake up every day and no matter how crappy you feel, want to change something for the better. Do something that makes someone happy. Create something that inspires someone. Be someone’s light when they are hopeless.
• If you play a Nickleback song backwards you’ll hear messages from the devil. Even worse, if you play it forwards you’ll hear Nickleback.
• I think that if you’re passionate about something and you’re driven and you’re focused, then you can pretty much do anything that you want to do in life.
• In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can’t replace the magic of four people in a room playing.
• Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it’s always going to be there.
