Saudi Arabia's AlUla Moments announced that Grammy Award-winning artist Lauryn Hill is set to perform at the Maraya hall, in AlUla, on February 22 – as part of AlUla Moments Concerts.
One of the most influential musicians of her generation and one of the greatest hip hop singers of all time, Hill has enjoyed an incredible career in the music industry – amassing a distinguished list of accolades.
Following a career in acting as a teen, she became the frontwoman of the hip-hop trio “Fugees” – famous for hit singles like “Killing Me Softly” and “Ready or Not” alongside Wyclef Jean and Pras. Their second studio album in 1996 – “The Score” – topped the Billboard 200 list, making her the first woman ever to win the Grammy Award for Best Hip Hop Album.
Often credited for being an industry pioneer and breaking barriers for female singers, Hill’s legendary status is also backed up by record-breaking achievements. She holds the outright record for most Grammy Awards for a female hip hop singer (eight) and most nominations in one night for a female (10). She was also included in the list of the 200 greatest singers in history by Rolling Stone magazine.
Most recently, she performed around the world as part of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour – where the Fugees also reunited.
Hill's concert at Maraya is the latest in the AlUla Moments concert series, which has lured some of the greatest music celebrities from the Middle East and the world. This event is an unmissable opportunity for live music lovers to enjoy an international concert in the heart of the astonishing city.
