==Career==
In 1985, six-year-old Ali began her acting career as a regular performer on the [[PBS]] children's educational program ''[[Sesame Street]]''. Her tenure included an appearance with jazz great [[Herbie Hancock]], who demonstrated his [[Fairlight CMI]] [[synthesizer]] using a sample of Ali's voice. She also appeared in two episodes of ''[[Star Search]],'' one of which featured her performance of a cover of [[Marvin Gaye]]'s and [[Tammi Terrell]]'s hit "[[Ain't No Mountain High Enough]]".
In 1985, 6-year-old Ali began her acting career as a regular child performer on ''[[Sesame Street]]'' and appeared with [[Herbie Hancock]] in a musical number. She also appeared in two episodes of ''[[Star Search]],'' one of which she performed a cover of [[Diana Ross]]'s hit song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." She made her breakthrough in 1990, when cast as Ashley Banks for the television [[sitcom]] ''The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air''. She sang on various episodes of the show, including a heavily altered version of [[Aretha Franklin]]'s "[[Respect (song)|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. However, despite her singing ability, Ali concentrated on her acting career on ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]''. In the series' final season (1995–96), Ali began preparing herself for her musical debut. The result was the album ''[[Kiss the Sky (Tatyana Ali album)|Kiss The Sky]]'', which was [[Music recording sales certification|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|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] and on the [[UK Singles Chart]].


She made her breakthrough in 1990 when she was cast as Ashley Banks on the [[NBC]] television sitcom ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', a role she played throughout the series' entire run, from 1990 to 1996.
The album spawned two further UK hits, "Boy You Knock Me Out", featuring Will Smith, which peaked at No. 3 and is her biggest hit to date; and "Everytime", which was her third top 20 hit in the UK, peaking at No. 20. She made an appearance in Smith's album ''[[Willennium]]'' for the track "Who Am I" with [[MC Lyte]]. Along with her musical career, Ali kept acting in many films. She had the chance to work with recognized film directors such as [[Takeshi Kitano]] (''[[Brother (2000 film)|Brother]]''), [[Rodrigo García (director)|Rodrigo Garcia]] (''[[Mother and Child (film)|Mother and Child]]''), among others. In 2005, she completed work on the film ''[[Glory Road (film)|Glory Road]]'' and starred in the [[music video]] for [[Nick Cannon]] and Anthony Hamilton's "Can I Live?" as Cannon's mother. In early 2008, she performed on the song "[[Yes We Can (will.i.am song)|Yes We Can]]", a [[will.i.am]] project supporting [[Barack Obama]]'s presidential campaign. She also appeared in the subsequent music video which gained coverage on the "What the Buzz" segment of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''[[World News Now]]''.


Ali's vocal talent was featured on several episodes of ''Fresh Prince'' in later seasons, prompting the show's star [[Will Smith]] to ask her if she would seriously consider pursuing a musical career. She ultimately decided, for the time being, to continue to concentrate on her acting career. In the series' final season, however, Ali performed several songs, and she began to be cleaned for her musical debut, the culmination of which was her debut album ''[[Kiss the Sky (Tatyana Ali album)|Kiss the Sky]]'' in 1998. It was [[certified gold]] in early 1999, only months after its release, and spawned the [[Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins]]-produced hit single "[[Daydreamin' (Tatyana Ali song)|Daydreamin']]", released July 21, 1998, which peaked at No. 6 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] and also appeared on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. The album spawned two further UK hits, "[[Boy You Knock Me Out]]" featuring Will Smith — which peaked at No. 3 and is her biggest hit to date — and "Everytime", which was her third top-20 hit in the UK, peaking at No. 20. She made an appearance on Smith's album ''[[Willennium]]'' on the track "Who Am I" with [[MC Lyte]]. She performed the title song "Sunny Valentine" along with [[Terrence Quaites]] for the indie film ''Rockin' Meera'' in 2005. In early 2008, she performed on the song "[[Yes We Can (will.i.am song)|Yes We Can]]", a [[will.i.am]] project supporting [[Barack Obama]]'s presidential campaign. She also appeared in the subsequent music video, which garnered coverage on the "What the Buzz" segment of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''[[World News Now]]''.

Her tenure included an appearance with jazz great Herbie Hancock, who demonstrated his Fairlight CMI synthesizer using a sample of Ali's voice. She also appeared in two episodes of Star Search, one of which featured her performance of a cover of Marvin Gaye's and Tammi Terrell's hit "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".

She made her breakthrough in 1990 when she was cast as Ashley Banks on the NBC television sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, a role she played throughout the series' entire run, from 1990 to 1996.

Ali's vocal talent was featured on several episodes of Fresh Prince in later seasons, prompting the show's star Will Smith to ask her if she would seriously consider pursuing a musical career. She ultimately decided, for the time being, to continue to concentrate on her acting career. In the series' final season, however, Ali performed several songs, and she began to be cleaned for her musical debut, the culmination of which was her debut album Kiss the Sky in 1998. It was certified gold in early 1999, only months after its release, and spawned the Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins-produced hit single "Daydreamin'", released July 21, 1998, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also appeared on the UK Singles Chart. The album spawned two further UK hits, "Boy You Knock Me Out" featuring Will Smith — which peaked at No. 3 and is her biggest hit to date — and "Everytime", which was her third top-20 hit in the UK, peaking at No. 20. She made an appearance on Smith's album Willennium on the track "Who Am I" with MC Lyte. She performed the title song "Sunny Valentine" along with Terrence Quaites for the indie film Rockin' Meera in 2005. In early 2008, she performed on the song "Yes We Can", a will.i.am project supporting Barack Obama's presidential campaign. She also appeared in the subsequent music video, which garnered coverage on the "What the Buzz" segment of ABC's World News Now. In January 2014, Ali released an EP titled Hello, whose first single was "Wait For It", which she performed on The Arsenio Hall Show on February 4, 2014.

Apart from her musical career, Ali continued to land roles in films such as The Brothers, Glory Road, and Nora's Hair Salon (and its sequel), among others. From 2009 to 2010, she produced and starred in the BET web series Buppies. She was on recurring status on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless as Roxanne from 2007 to 2013. Ali starred in the TV One original series Love That Girl! as Tyana (whose name was derived from Ali's given name). In 2013, she co-starred as Maya in the BET comedy Second Generation Wayans, alongside Craig Wayans and Damien Dante Wayans.

In 2011, Ali received the Living Legacy Award from the Caribbean Heritage Organization in Los Angeles.[4][5]

In July 2016, Ali sued Warner Bros., claiming that the company stole her idea for the show The Real, after she pitched the concept in December 2012.[6] The case was dismissed in February 2017.[7]

Personal life

[edit]

She dated actor Jonathan Brandis from 1995 to 1998.[8]

Ali graduated from The Buckley School in 1997. Ali attended Harvard University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in African-American Studies and Government in 2002.[9] On a celebrity edition of the game show The Chase, which aired February 3, 2015, Ali stated that her major was political science.

She traveled the United States as a spokesperson for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, and headed voter registration drives at college campuses.[10][11]

In March 2016, Ali revealed that she was engaged to Vaughn Rasberry, an assistant professor of English at Stanford University, whom she had met on eHarmony,[12] and they announced that they were expecting their first child.[13] She and Rasberry married on July 17, 2016, in Beverly Hills, California.[14][15] The couple have two sons.[16][17] Rasberry has since become an associate professor and associate vice provost for graduate education at Stanford.[18]

Ali is an honorary member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.; she was inducted on July 27, 2024 at the sorority's Boulé in Indianapolis, Indiana. [19]
