Her family encouraged her to get into musical theatre, and also enrolled her in a prestigious performing arts school. She toured singing back-up for Maxi Priest, and in 1995 released her first single "I Miss You (Come Back Home)" on the <i>New York Undercover</i> soundtrack. The song was a hit and soon after Heavy D signed her to Uptown Records, which released her debut album <i>Moods...Moments</i>. Unlike a lot of other vocalists, Monifah switches up her styles from track to track, exploring R&B, hip-hop, and Gospel. She released her follow-up <i>Mo'hogony</i> in '98 and <i>Home</i> in 2000. - Brolin WinningContemporary R&Ben720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:47:47 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1612&rws=%2Fmonifah%2Fmusic-videos.rss Growing up in Spanish Harlem, Monifah was immersed in music from a young age.
