Biography
Sheryl Crow is an acclaimed American musician, singer, and songwriter, whose career spans over three decades. Born Sheryl Suzanne Crow on February 11, 1962, in Kennett, Missouri, she grew up in a musically inclined family. Her mother was a piano teacher and her father a lawyer and trumpet player. Crow's early life was marked by a strong involvement in music and athletics, and she excelled as a majorette and track athlete during her high school years.

After high school, Crow attended the University of Missouri in Columbia, earning a BS Ed degree in music education in 1984. During her college years, she performed with a local band named Cashmere and was a member of various societies and fraternities.

Crow's professional music career began in earnest post-college. She worked as a music teacher before moving into the music industry full-time. Her early career included singing in commercial jingles and backing vocals for major artists such as Michael Jackson during his Bad tour, Stevie Wonder, and Don Henley.

Her debut album, "Tuesday Night Music Club," released in 1993, brought her international fame, particularly with the hit single "All I Wanna Do." The album's success was a springboard, leading to nine Grammy Awards and over 50 million album sales worldwide. Crow's music is characterized by its fusion of rock, pop, country, folk, and blues.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Crow released a series of successful albums, including her self-titled second album, "The Globe Sessions," and "C'mon, C'mon," which featured the hit "Soak Up the Sun." Her activism and personal style were as integral to her public persona as her raspy voice; she was known for her environmental and political activism, particularly her opposition to the 2003 Iraq War.

Crow's later works continued to garner critical and commercial success. Her album "Detours" reflected her personal transformations and political views. In 2010, she ventured into the country genre with "100 Miles from Memphis" and later fully embraced country with "Feels Like Home" in 2013.

In addition to her music career, Crow has made several appearances on television series and has been involved in various philanthropic efforts, including the fight against breast cancer, to which she was diagnosed in 2006 but made a full recovery.

In 2023, Crow was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a testament to her enduring influence and legacy in the music industry.
