	Musicians - Imani Coppola

While just a sophomore at the State University of New York (studying orchestra and later studio composition), Imani Coppola gained a record contract for her surrealistic, sample-laden pop vision of hip-hop, linked to Digable Planets as well as Neneh Cherry. While growing up, her entire family was musical, and Coppola began playing violin at the age of six. She began writing songs and practiced her vocals (although her recording career has featured her rapping more than singing). Her debut album, Chupacabra, released in 1997, featured the MTV hit "Legend of a Cowgirl."

Overwhelmed with the album's success, she then concentrated on her studies and kept herself away from the pop music radar.

In 2000, she teamed with the Baha Men for the European and Australian Top 10 hit You All Dat.

In 2002, Imani released "Post Traumatic Pop Syndrome" through independent distribution. In 2004, she released "Afrodite."
