Tracy Chapman (born March 30, 1964) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for legendary singles “Fast Car”, “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution”, “Baby Can I Hold You”, and “Give Me One Reason.” She is a multi-platinum and multi-Grammy award-winning artist.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Tracy Chapman began playing guitar and writing songs as a child. She received a scholarship through A Better Chance that allowed her to attend Wooster School in Connecticut, and was eventually accepted to Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.
Tracy Chapman helped restore singer/songwriters to the spotlight in the ’80s. The multi-platinum success of Chapman’s eponymous 1988 debut was unexpected, and it had lasting impact. Although Chapman was working from the same confessional singer/songwriter foundation that had been popularized in the ’70s, her songs were fresh and powerful, driven by simple melodies and affecting lyrics. At the time of her first album, there were only a handful of artists performing such a style successfully, and her success ushered in a new era of singer/songwriters that lasted well into the ’90s. Along with 10,000 Maniacs and R.E.M., Chapman’s liberal politics proved enormously influential on American college campuses in the late ’80s

ARTIST WITH A MESSAGE LOOKING FOR ONLINE STREET TEAM www.myspace.com/ellielawson. Hi guys, I'm getting a STREET TEAM together online for the promotion of my new independent album Lost songs' over the next few months. It will be FUN and easy. So let me know if you'd like 2 get involved! You will get a SIGNED CD for your help! email me at ellielawson@hotmail for more info! Here is my biography: I am a singer-songwriter with a message. I'm socially conscious and try to practice what I preach. My songs are about taking action, idealistic goals and how I see the world in 2009. After a year on Atlantic Records and living in NYC for two years I just released my 2nd album independently with tracks produced by Jony Rockstar (Sugababes) Future Cut (Lily Allen) and Yoad Nevo (Jem). I am sponsored by QUIKSILVER women and marketed and promoted in Europe, USA and Australia.
