Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday POU!
As you go about this beautiful Sunday, enjoy the music of Atlanta’s own Algebra.
Born Algebra Felicia Blessett on April 9, 1976, and hailing from the R&B hotbed of Atlanta, Algebra has already earned a reputation as one of her hometown’s most exciting talents.
Algebra grew up steeped in music, in a religious family with multi-generational roots in gospel music; her mother was a minister and gospel singer who also played bass and guitar. Yet she initially resisted the urge to pursue music herself, despite singing in a gospel choir while still in elementary school. Although she had originally wanted to attend the prestigious Atlanta School of the Performing Arts to become a professional dancer, she was accepted after auditioning with a song.
She won widespread acclaim with her 2008 solo debut Purpose, and for her work as collaborator with the likes of Monica, Bilal, India.Arie, Esperanza Spalding and Anthony David.
Algebra co-wrote and sang with Esperanza Spalding on the hit “Black Gold”
Duet with Anthony David, the number 1 hit “4Evermore”
In 2014, she released her sophomore CD Recovery which featured the hit single “Nobody But You”.
