She is widely considered an icon in the global music industry and popular culture, and was ranked by VH1 as number 9 on their “100 Greatest Women in Music” list in 2012.Early Life and Career beginnings: Mary Jane Blige was born in The Bronx, New York, on January 11, 1971. She was raised in Savannah, Georgia, until age seven when her family moved back to New York, where they lived in the Schlobohm Housing Projects in Yonkers. Her mother was a nurse, and her father was a jazz musician. She has two siblings. Blige’s father was a Vietnam War veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and left the family in the mid-1970s.After dropping out of high school during her junior year, Blige began pursuing a career in music. She was briefly part of a Yonkers band named Pride, with whom she recorded a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker. Her mother’s boyfriend at the time played the cassette of her cover for Jeff Redd, a recording artist and A&R runner for Uptown Records, who then sent it to Andre Harrell, the label’s CEO. When Blige was signed to the label as a backup vocalist in 1989, she was the company’s youngest artist, and also their first female artist.Music Career: Blige began working with record producer Sean Combs (aka P Diddy or Puff Daddy) while at Uptown, and he helped produce her debut album “What’s the 411?” (July 1992).
