In this music industry there
are a couple of females that I would consider profound artists; but Fantasia
Barrino is by far the most consistent female artist I feel that has ever blessed
this industry. Fantasia Monique Barrino was born on June 30, 1984, in the
humble state of High Point, North Carolina.
In the year of 2004 Fantasia
decided to compete in American Idol; not knowing that she would have been the
worlds favorite. After successfully winning the American Idol competition, she
proceeded later on that year releasing her debut single “I Believe” which made it on the Billboard, holding the number one
spot.
Shortly following her single
the complete album Free Yourself, was released, and with in months made it to
Platinum status; which escalated her to receiving three Grammy nominations in
the year of 2006. Within that same year, she released her second self-titled
album Fantasia. This album involved the chart topping song “When I
See You”. This particular song made on the
Billboard as well; nominated for Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a total of eight
weeks. This album only made it to the Gold level.
In the year of 2010 Fantasia
finally received her first Grammy award for Best Female R&B Vocal
Performance for the song “Bittersweet”. Throughout Fantasia’s
break from the music industry; she decided to return back to the studio to work
on what would be one of the most influential albums she has ever made. For the
first time Fantasia decided to push her talent to another level, and begin
writing. In the year of 2013 Fantasia rocked the world with her new song “Loseto Win”. In addition to that, she was asked to perform that same song
at the American Idol competition as a guess. This recent album Side Effects of You has dug deep into her feelings, explaining what she has
gone through in the past couple years that she was not performing. Since then
she evolved into a woman that is not afraid to tell the world who she is now;
nothing holding her back at this point.
