Early life
Ali, the oldest of three daughters, is Caribbean in heritage. Her mother, Sonia Moore, is an Afro-Panamanian of West Indian background from Panama and her father Sheriff “The Bomber” Ali is an Indo-Trinidadian (Indian) descendant from Trinidad and Tobago. The Caribbean is mixed all over, and her parents union enabled her to be fluent in English and Spanish. She can also speak some phrases in Hindi.
Career
At the age of four, Ali began singing. She also appeared with Herbie Hancock on an episode of Sesame Street. By age seven, she won the Star Search television contest two times. Her breakthrough came when she was cast as Ashley Banks for the popular television sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. She sang on various episodes of the show. On one of the shows Ali sings Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” and the original song “Make Up Your Mind”, Will Smith asked her if she seriously considered pursuing a musical career. Despite her singing ability, she concentrated on her acting career on Fresh Prince the next few years.
In the penultimate season of Fresh Prince, Ali began preparing herself for her musical debut. The result was the album Kiss The Sky, which was certified gold in early 1999. The album spawned the hit song Daydreamin’, produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, which peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the UK Singles Chart.

She probably just decided she liked acting more than singing and decided to focus on that part of her career for the time being.

What the hell happened to her? Obviously nothing ever came of that 'Somebody Loves You' song. She had a couple really strong singles from her debut LP, I thought she had alot of potential. Did she just give up or what?!
