Born on the Caribbean island of Trinidad the daughter of a pastor, Headley started singing and playing piano in church at a young age. Since, her multi-faceted career has been a blessing. Headley won a Tony Award in 2000 for best actress in a musical for her role in Aida and originated the role of Nala in Broadway's The Lion King. In 2002, her debut album This Is Who I Am was nominated for two Grammy® Awards, and in 2010, she won a Grammy® in the best contemporary R&B Gospel album for Audience of One. Headley reprises the role of Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard when it debuts on West End at the Adelphi Theatre in London in fall 2012.

"I'm honored to play Rachel in the musical version of The Bodyguard, but I'm also excited to bring new music to my fans on my upcoming CD project," said Headley. "I encourage fans to participate and visit my website to give me feedback on the unfinished tracks."
