Inā noi ʻia ʻoe e hoʻomanaʻo i kahi mele mele ʻuhane, e paʻa koke ka inoa ʻo Erykah Badu i kou hoʻomanaʻo. ʻAʻole hoihoi kēia mea mele i kona leo hoʻohiwahiwa, nani ke ʻano o ka hana, akā me kona helehelena ʻokoʻa. ʻO kahi wahine ʻeleʻele maikaʻi ke aloha nui i nā poʻo eccentric. ʻO nā pāpale mua a me nā scarves i kāna kiʻi kahua i lilo i mea koʻikoʻi maoli o ke ʻano.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻohana o ka mea kaulana e hiki mai ana ʻo Erykah Badu
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Erica Abi Wright, i kapa ʻia ʻo Erykah Badu, ma Pepeluali 26, 1971. Ua hana ʻia ma Dallas, Texas, USA. He kaikunane a he kaikuahine ko ke kaikamahine. Haʻalele koke ka makua kāne i ka ʻohana. ʻO ka makuahine, haʻalele ʻia me ʻekolu mau keiki, ua haehae ʻia ma waena o ka hana a me ka home.
Ua kōkua kona makuahine i ka hānai ʻana i kāna mau moʻopuna. ʻAʻole wale ʻo kupuna wahine i mālama a mālama i nā keiki, akā ua kōkua pū i ko lākou ulu ʻana. Ua hauʻoli ʻo Erica i kāna mau mea hana hana mai ka wā kamaliʻi. I ka makahiki 3, ua hoʻopaʻa kona kupuna wahine i nā mele ma kahi leo leo a kāna moʻopuna i hana ai.
ʻO ka hoʻomohala mua ʻana o Erykah Badu
Ua puka mua ʻo Erica ma ke kahua i ka makahiki 4. ʻO ia ka Hale Keaka o kona kaona hānau. Ua hana kona makuahine ma ke ʻano he mea hana keaka. Ma ka hale keaka, ua hana ka makua kāne o Erica i hale kiʻi no nā kālena ʻeleʻele. ʻO ka hana mua a ke kaikamahine i mua o ke anaina me nā mele a me nā hula i mālama ʻia ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a kona makuahine akua.
ʻO Erica, i ka ʻike ʻana i ka hiʻohiʻona o kāna mau mea aloha, ʻike koke ʻo ia e kūleʻa maoli ʻo ia i ka hana hana. ʻO ka hele hou ʻana o ke kaikamahine ma ke kahua i kona mau makahiki kula. I kona hele ʻana i ka papa ʻelua, ua hāʻawi manawaleʻa ʻo ia e komo i kahi pāʻani keiki. Ua koho ʻo Erica iā ia iho i ke ʻano o ke keiki hoʻoweliweli.
ʻO nā hana mua a Erykah Badu i ka hana ʻana i nā mele
Ma waho aʻe o nā ʻaha mele home, ʻaʻole i aʻo koʻikoʻi ke kaikamahine i nā mele ma nā wahi āpau. Ua hoʻolohe mau ʻo ia i ka ʻuhane o nā makahiki 70 me ka hoihoi. ʻO nā mea hoʻokani punahele a ke kaikamahine ʻo Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye. Ua haku ʻo Erica i kāna mele mua i ka makahiki 7.
I kona mau makahiki ʻōpio, ua hoihoi ʻo ia i ka hip-hop. ʻO ke kaikamahine he mau mele e wili mau ana i kona poʻo, kākau ʻo ia a heluhelu i nā kikokikona paʻakikī ʻole. Ua hana ʻo Erica ma lalo o ka pseudonym MC Apple. Ke ulu nei, ua aloha ke kaikamahine me ka jazz. I ka makahiki 14, ua hiki iā ia ke hui pū me Roy Hargrove ma kahi lekiō kūloko.
Hoʻololi ka inoa o Erik Badu
ʻOiai i kona wā ʻōpiopio, ua manaʻo ʻo Erica i kona inoa hānau ʻaʻole kūpono i kahi kanaka kūleʻa. Ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā aʻa kauā i loko ona. Ua hoʻololi wale ʻo ia i ka huaʻōlelo iā Erykah. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia ʻaʻole e lawe i ka inoa o kona makuakāne. ʻO Erykah Badu ka hopena, ʻo ia ka inoa i kaulana ai.
Loaʻa ka hoʻonaʻauao
Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o kāna aʻo ʻana i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua hele ʻo Erykah e aʻo ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Washington High School of the Arts. Ma ʻaneʻi ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā kumu o ka leo a me nā mākau kahua.
Ma hope o ka puka 'ana mai kahi kula hoʻonaʻauao, ua ʻimi ke kaikamahine e hoʻomau i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ʻoihana hana. Ua komo ʻo ia i ke Kulanui o Grambling State. ʻAʻole i lōʻihi ke kaikamahine, haʻalele i ke kula, e hoʻoholo ana e komo koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻohana pono ʻana o kāna mau akamai.
ʻO ka hana ʻoihana mua
Ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana mai ke kulanui, ua hoʻi ʻo Erykah i kona kūlanakauhale hānau. Ua loaʻa iā ia kahi hana ma ke kikowaena moʻomeheu. Ma ʻaneʻi ua aʻo ʻo Badu i nā keiki i nā kumu o ka hana keaka a me ka hula. Pono kēia hana no ka loaʻa kālā liʻiliʻi.
Ua moeʻuhane ke kaikamahine i ke ʻano. I kona manawa kūʻokoʻa, hoʻokani ʻo ia i nā pāʻina ma kahi duet me kona hoahānau ʻo Robert Bradford. Ua holomua nā hana a ErykahFree. Ma kahi duet me kona kaikunāne, ua hoʻopaʻa ka mea mele i kahi hōʻike demo o kahi hōʻiliʻili o nā mele 19.
Ma ka manawa like, mahalo i kāna hana hana, ua hui ke kaikamahine iā D'Angelo. Ua hoʻomākaukau ka mea hoʻokani pila e hoʻopaʻa i kāna album mua. Puʻiwa ʻo ia i ka leo o ka mea hīmeni a kono iā Erykah e komo i kāna hana. Ua hoʻokani lāua i ka "Your Precious Love". Ua hōʻike ʻia ke mele ma ke mele kani i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 1996.
Ua pīhoihoi ʻo Kedar Massenburg, ka luna o D'Angelo, i ka leo o ka mea mele. ʻO ka hoʻomaka mua i hoʻohana ʻia i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni i makemake ʻia e ka lehulehu. ʻO kēia ke kumu o ka manaʻo no ka launa pū ʻana. Ua kau inoa ʻo Erykah Badu i kāna ʻaelike mua a hoʻomaka i kāna ʻoihana solo.
Ka holomua ʻoihana
I ka makahiki 1997, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Erykah Badu i kāna album mua. ʻO "Baduizm" i lawe koke mai i ka holomua. Ua paʻi ka album i ka Billboard, a piʻi i ka helu ʻelua. Ma kahi palapala hip-hop like, ua alakaʻi ka ʻohi. Ua ʻike koke ʻia ka mea mele, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka hōkū o ka ʻuhane.
Ua hōʻoia ʻia ʻo "Baduizm" ʻekolu manawa platinum ma US, a me ke gula ma ʻEnelani a me Kanada. ʻO ka "On & On" hoʻokahi i hoʻokipa nui ʻia. ʻAʻoleʻo ia i komo wale i nā pakuhi, uaʻikeʻia ma nā'āina likeʻole. Ua koho ʻia ke mele no kahi Grammy. Ua lanakila ʻo Erykah Badu i ka Best R&B Female Singer a ua kapa ʻia kāna album mua i ka Best R&B Singer. He lanakila hiki ʻole ke hōʻole ʻia.
Hoʻomohala ʻoihana ʻo Erykah Badu
No ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka hoihoi i kāna moʻolelo mua, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Erykah Badu e hoʻonohonoho i kahi huakaʻi ʻahamele. I ka wā mua, hoʻokani ʻo ia me ka ʻohana Wu-Tang, akā ʻaʻole liuliu ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i kāna papahana ponoʻī.
Ma hope o ka huakaʻi, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka album ola Live. ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka disc hou ma mua o ka hui ʻana o ka studio ma mua. ʻO ia wale nō nā kūlana 2 ma hope o ka papahana mua o ka mea mele ma ke kūlana.
ʻO ka bassist kaulana ʻo Ron Carter, a me The Roots, i komo i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana. Ma 1999, no kahi mele hui me ka hui like a me ka mea mele ʻo Eve Erykah Badu, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi Grammy i ka koho "Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group".
ʻO ka hana hoʻomohala hou aʻe o Erykah Badu
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Badu i kahi album studio hou ma 200. Ua komo nā Soulquarians a me ka bassist Pino Palladino i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka album "Mama's Gun". ʻO ke mele poʻo inoa o ka album, "Bag Lady", i hoʻopaʻa ʻia no ka manawa lōʻihi a ua koho ʻia ʻo ia no kahi makana Grammy. ʻAʻole naʻe i lanakila.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, hele ʻo Badu i kahi huakaʻi nui i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e kākoʻo i ka album i hoʻokuʻu ʻia. E hoʻomaka ana i Pepeluali, hoʻomau ka huakaʻi i ke kauwela. Ua kipa ka mea mele i nā kūlanakauhale he nui ma ʻAmelika, a me kekahi mau ʻāina ʻEulopa.
I ka makahiki 2003, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Erykah i kā lākou album hou, Worldwide Underground. Ua kūkākūkā ikaika ʻia ʻo ia e ka poʻe hoʻohewa, akā makemake ʻia e ka lehulehu. Ua loaʻa i ka mea mele he 4 mau koho Grammy, akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa nā makana. I ka makahiki 2004, hele 'o Badu i kekahi huaka'i 'aha mele.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i ka album aʻe ma 2008 wale nō, a i ka makahiki 2010 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kāna sequel. Ma waena o kāna mau hana hoʻokahi, hana ʻo Badu i nā hana like ʻole: ke kākau ʻana, ka hui pū ʻana i nā mele, ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā leo kani, a me nā mea hou aʻe, pili i kāna ʻoihana ʻoihana.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Erykah Badu
Me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka kaulana, loaʻa iā Erykah ke aloha. Ua hoʻokuke ʻo Fate i ka mea mele me Andre 3000, nāna i hoʻokani ma ke ʻano o ka hui Outkast. Ua ola a wikiwiki ka pilina. Ua hanau o Erika he keikikane, Ehiku. Ma hope koke iho, ua haki ka pilina me kāna keikikāne.
ʻAʻole pili ka hānau ʻana o kahi keiki i ka ulu ʻana o kahi ʻoihana. Ua hana ikaika ʻo Erykah i kona wā hāpai a hoʻomau i ka hana ma hope o ka hānau ʻana o ka pēpē. Ma 2000, hoʻomaka ka mea mele i kahi pilina aloha me kahi hoa hana ma lalo o ka pseudonym Common. ʻO ka hopena he hana hoʻohua maikaʻi, a me kahi makana Grammy.
I ka makahiki 2004, lilo hou ʻo Erykah i makuahine. Ua hūnā ʻo ia i ka inoa o ka makuakāne o kāna kaikamahine.
Kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā hana ʻē aʻe
ʻAʻole hoʻopaʻa wale ʻo Badu i nā mele e hele pū me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni. He mau hana episodic kāna i kāna ʻoihana. Kuhi ʻia ka manaʻo nui i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni "The Cider House Rules", i lanakila i ka Oscar. ʻO ka lua o ka hana koʻikoʻi ma ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni i kapa ʻia ʻo ka hana ma ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni "Blues Brothers 2000".
Ma waho aʻe o ka hana, he mea hoʻokumu ʻo ia i ka Sugar Water Festival. I ka wā e hiki mai ana, hoʻolālā ka mea mele e wehe i kahi kula hula, a me kahi hale kiʻi kiʻi.
