  出生於西印度群島千里達托貝哥的Heather Headley，身為牧師女兒，從小就在充滿音樂環繞的教堂中開始表演生涯，年僅四歲就彈得一手好琴，隨後接觸較為民族色彩的當地歌謠、雷鬼等樂種。15歲移民美國印第安納州，高中畢業後，Heather進入西北大學研讀音樂、歌舞劇等相關科系。1997年登上百老匯舞台飾演獅子王Nala要角，1999年以「阿依達」音樂劇獲得東尼獎「最佳女演員」。驚為天人的嗓音讓Heather於2002年發行個人專輯《This Is Who I Am》，首支單曲〈He Is〉出版，立刻入圍靈魂列車「最佳節奏藍調/ 靈魂或饒舌新進藝人」獎，接著節奏藍調榜Top15+舞曲榜Top5的第二波碎心單曲〈I Wish I Wasn’t〉，獲得葛萊美「最佳新人」、「最佳節奏藍調女歌手」等兩項大獎入圍，2003年更贏得靈魂列車「年度最佳個人節奏藍調/ 靈魂專輯」以及「最佳個人節奏藍調/ 靈魂或饒舌新進藝人」兩大獎、「最佳節奏藍調/ 靈魂單曲〈He Is〉」提名，NAACP Image獎項「傑出新人」與「傑出女藝人」提名，入選Billboard音樂獎「年度節奏藍調/ 嘻哈新人」獎，優異的成績，讓人無法不將目光多停留在她身上！ I Wish I Wasn'tI'm home alone againAnd you're out, hanging with your friendsSo you say, somehow I know it's not quite that wayIt's getting pretty late and you haven't checked on me all dayWhen I called you didn't answerNow I'm feeling like you're ignoring meI wish that you were homeholding me,tight in your armsand I wish, I could go backTo the day before we met and skip my regretChorusI wish I wasn't in love with youso you couldn't hurt meIt just ain't fair the way you treat meNo you don't deserve meWasted my time thinking about you and you ain't never gone changeI wish I wasn't in love with youso I wouldn't feel this wayVerse 2When you touch me my heart meltsand everything you did wrong I forgetso you play me and take advantageof the love that I feel for youWhy you wanna hurt me so badI believed in you thats why I"m so madnow I'm drowning in disappointment, and its hard for me to even look at youI wish that you were homeHolding me tight in your arms ooh babyI wish I could go backTo the day before we met and skip my regretBridgeSaid you care about me, but from what I seeI ain't feeling that, so I disagreegave you all my love and understanding and you treated me like your enemyso leave me alone, don't want nothing from youjust go back where you came from this house is no longer your homeyou can not never come no moreChorus (repeat 2x)outroI hear you knocking at my door againI'm wondering should I let you inI open up the door and see the flowers for me so beautiful in your handsYou start begging me to take you back,I've always been a sucker for romanceand before you know it I can see, you're all over meoh no here I go againI wish I wasn't in love with you so you couldn't hurt
