Bilal
Musician
Bilal, born Bilal Sayeed Oliver in 1979, is a Grammy-winning American neo-soul and R&B singer, songwriter and producer known for his four-octave vocal range, jazz-trained falsetto and boundary-breaking, experimental style. A core member of the legendary Soulquarians collective alongside Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, Questlove and J Dilla in the late 1990s and early 2000s, he broke out with his 2001 debut album "1st Born Second" and its hit "Soul Sista"; his leaked-before-release album "Love for Sale" is likewise considered a masterpiece by critics despite never getting an official release. He won a Grammy for his performance on "These Walls" from Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly," and has collaborated with major names including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Common and Robert Glasper, while independent albums like "Airtight's Revenge" (2010) and "A Love Surreal" (2013) cemented his place as one of contemporary R&B's most visionary voices.
