This year marks the 15 year passing of the earth angel who was Aaliyah. She was my icon growing up; her style, music, passion for her art and drive was an inspiration to myself and many. I remember listening to her music all the time; in fact, her "Are You That Somebody" track is what made me fall in love with music. My 10 year old self wanted to be just like Aaliyah; just as beautiful, just as defiant and just as talented. I still do!
