This August marks 10 years since the extremely beautiful and equally talented Aaliyah Haughton tragically lost her life.
Singer, dancer, actress, an influence to a generation, Aaliyah encompassed passion, sensuality, and a sense of magic that seamlessly permeated through everything she did. Visually stunning and vocally enchanting, the mesh of her musical and aesthetic style output a sexy yet playful appeal that was both mature enough to catch the attention of an older generation whilst not disconnecting her from a younger audience. She was, and still is, simply adored by all.

Crowned the ‘Princess of RnB’ and ‘Queen of Urban Pop’, it is hard to believe she was a mere 22 years of age at the time of passing. Having already spent so many years in the industry, her efforts catapulted her from height to height, with multi platinum albums, a successful movie under her belt and other major roles in the pipeline.
Look out for our Aaliyah tribute project which will feature production from Innovance and Epithet Music as well as vocals from James Arthur, Fallon Douglas and Giovanna Jayne amongst others.
We leave you with this heart telling song where she expresses her aspirations within a relationship. She was truly more than a woman and is deeply missed by all.
Edit: We came across this video of a young Aaliyah in Star Search so thought we’d include this also.
