Marsha Ambrosius

Shortly after the end of her gold-selling R&B act Floetry, singer, songwriter, and producer Marsha Ambrosius -- whose biggest claim to fame as a writer is Michael Jackson's Top 20 hit "Butterflies" -- signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath label. Nothing came from the short-lived alliance. However, Ambrosius eventually signed with J Records, where she finally released her first official solo album -- Late Nights & Early Mornings -- in 2011. While in creative limbo, she was nonetheless active, issuing a handful of mixtapes and collaborating with Alicia Keys ("Go Ahead'), Mario ("Why"), Jazmine Sullivan ("Music [All I Need]"), Jamie Foxx ("Freak’in Me"), and Wale ("Diary"). ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
