The recording earned Hill five Grammy Awards, including the coveted Album of the Year./nFollowing the success of her debut album, Hill largely dropped out of public view, in part due to her displeasure with fame and the music industry. After a four-year hiatus, she released MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, a live recording of \"deeply personal songs\" performed mostly solo with an acoustic guitar.Hill also participated in a short-lived Fugees reunion during the mid-2000s. Hill is the mother of five children with Rohan Marley, the fourth son of reggae musician Bob Marley./nLauryn Hill was born in South Orange, New Jersey, the second of two children born to high school English teacher Valerie Hill and computer programmer Mal Hill. As a child, Hill listened to her parents\' Motown 1960s soul records. Music was a central part of the Hill home. Mal Hill sang at weddings, Valerie played the piano, and Lauryn\'s older brother Malaney played the saxophone, guitar, drums, harmonica, and piano. In 1988, Hill appeared as an Amateur Night contestant on It\'s Showtime at the Apollo. She sang her own version of Smokey Robinson\'s song \"Who\'s Lovin\' You?\", where she was booed tremendously./nHill was childhood friends with actor Zach Braff and both graduated from Columbia High School in 1993, where Hill was an active student, cheerleader, and performer. Braff has spoken of Hill attending his Bar Mitzvah in 1988. Hill enrolled at Columbia University in 1993 and attended for about a year before dropping out to pursue her entertainment career./nHill and Wyclef Jean dated through the majority of the Fugees time together, a relationship that friends have called \"complicated\". In the summer of 1996, she met Rohan Marley, son of the late reggae icon Bob Marley, and openly had a relationship with him. Jean knew about this relationship. Hill soon became pregnant by Marley, who himself was already married. She kept the information about the identity of the baby\'s father a secret to almost everyone; Jean assumed the baby was his when he first visited her in the hospital./nHill and Rohan have had five children together: Zion David Hill-Marley, Selah Marley, Joshua Marley, and John Marley. The couple\'s fifth child is a girl who was born in early 2008; and Marley told People magazine that although the baby is seven months old, she is still without a name.

In 1993, she co-starred in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit as Rita Louise Watson, in which she performed the songs \"His Eye Is on the Sparrow\" (a duet with Tanya Blount) and \"Joyful, Joyful\".

The Melody Makers, as the group came to be known, played occasionally for several years, including at their father\'s funeral in 1981. Their debut LP was Play the Game Right, which was a very pop-oriented album, earning Ziggy some derision from critics. The band\'s label, EMI, wanted to market Ziggy as a solo act, and so the Melody Makers moved to Virgin Records, where they recorded Conscious Party (1988, produced by Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth). The album was critically and popularly successful, as was One Bright Day (1989) and Jahmekya (1991). Some of his most popular singles include \"True To Myself\", \"Drive\", \"People Get Ready\", and his US Top 40 and UK Top 20 hit \"Tomorrow People\"./nAs the 1990s continued, the Melody Makers\' sales slowly declined, beginning with Joy and Blues (1993) and continuing with Free Like We Want 2 B (1995)./nIn 1991, Marley and the Melody Makers contributed the song Give A Little Love to the Disney album, For Our Children.
