Tatyana Ali

Tatyana Marisol Ali (born January 24, 1979) is an American actress, model and R&B singer, who is best known for her role as Ashley Banks on the NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. From 2010 to 2012, she starred as Tyana Jones on the TV One original sitcom Love That Girl!, and has had a recurring role as Roxanne on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless.

Early life

Ali was born in North Bellmore, New York, the eldest daughter (she has two younger sisters) of Sonia, a nurse, and Sheriff Ali, a police detective. Her mother is Afro-Panamanian and her father is Indo-Trinidadian.

Career

By the age of six, she had begun her acting career, as a regular child performer on Sesame Street starting in 1985, even appearing with Herbie Hancock in a musical number. She also appeared twice on Star Search. She made her breakthrough when she was cast as Ashley Banks for the television sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1990. She sang on various episodes of the show, including a heavily altered version of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and the original song, "Make Up Your Mind" produced by Robert Jerald of N'Spyre Music Productions. Will Smith asked her if she seriously considered pursuing a musical career. Despite her singing ability, she concentrated on her acting career on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air the next few years. In the final season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1995–96), Ali began preparing herself for her musical debut. The result was the album Kiss The Sky, which was certified gold in early 1999. The album spawned the hit song "Daydreamin'", released July 21, 1998, produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and on the UK Singles Chart.

Getting Closer

by: Tatyana Ali

When it comes down to me and you
Theres no demand to what we do
Met no one like you it's been a while
When I say it's been a while this you best believe it child,
I talk to you like you were my best friend.
I love the fact that you're talking too
'cause I damn near gave my heart to you
Those things that make us frown make us smile
So lay your head and rest
Be happy 'cause you've got the best
Every...day we get closer it's true.
Chorus-
I can feel us getting closer
And boy you know I want you
I can feel us getting closer
Don't know what I would do without you
I love it when you're here with me
My days with you are so sweet
You clear up all the things thats on my mind
You know all the right things to do
Somehow they get me in the mood
Your smile seems to take control of me
God knows what I would do for you
And what I feel no lie is true
I see the future baby
It's me and you
Chorus 2x
Kel spencer:
This whole friendship thing is cool
But lets take it past that
Give kel spencer the rap cat
That's a class act
We've been friends for a while
But you're style and your smile
Makes me want to take it that extra mile
We can hold hands in the rain or chill in the shade
Le me know something, 'cause I know you feeling the same
Real cool friendship we kept it up now it's time to step it up
Change in plans do it nice and smooth
We both invisioned it right?
Now instead of kissing the sky start kissing this guy
Ay yo! it's real for you
What I feel for you
And I'm gonna make it real ill for you
Patinum voice, gold dig, complexion
Draws my fellings in your direction
I know you're away at school, me too
Abscense makes the heart grow founder so it's cool.
Chorus 2x
