Lauryn Hill was born in East Orange, New Jersey, but her family would eventually settle in South Orange, where she would meet a fellow future star: actor Zach Braff.
Hill immersed herself in Motown and R&B at a young age when she discovered her mom's old albums in her attic. She began singing in earnest at age 7 when her mom took her to see a production of Annie. After that, she drove her family crazy by singing the show's tunes non-stop.
At age 12, Hill competed on the amateur portion of It's Showtime at the Apollo, singing the Miracles' "Who's Lovin' You."
