Lyrics

"I Wish I Wasn't"

I'm home alone again and your out hangin' with your friends
So you say, somehow I know it's not quit...

Biography

R&B vocalist Heather Headley was born in Trinidad in the mid-'70s. At an early age, this daughter of a pastor was surrounded by music and performance art. She started playing concert piano by the age of four, later immersing herself in the eclectic music of her culture: calypso, soca, and reggae. This foundation would later motivate Headley to sing professionally. Upon arriving in the States with her family at age 15, Headley quickly adapted to America's ways. She soaked up American music and worked with its complexities. She graduated with honors from high school, and later studied communications and musical theater at Northwestern University. In 1997, she was cast as %Nala in the Broadway production of #The Lion King.
