Fostering an eclectic appreciation and voracious appetite for good music across genres, Ms. Lauryn Hill has established her own categories that incorporate all types of unique and incredible sounds from both the past and the contemporary environment of her youth. She developed a reputation in the music world as the lone female member of the Fugees, whose record sales would make them the second-largest-selling R&B act worldwide, behind Michael Jackson.
She launched her solo career with the release of the commercially successful and critically acclaimed album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The recording earned a record-breaking five Grammy Awards and eventually achieved Diamond status (selling over 10 million units), ultimately being inducted into the Library of Congress. This artist and her immaculate album have inspired numerous generations of men and women. Furthermore, Ms Hill has blazed new trails and expanded the landscape for all female artists.
Artist In Residence brings audiences inside the creative world of Ms. Lauryn Hill, not just as a performer, but as a working artist in motion. Joined by her band, she reimagines the stage as a live environment, where music, visuals, and experimentation unfold in real time. Drawing from her iconic catalog, studio archives, and improvisational process, each night becomes a unique encounter: part concert, part exhibition, part creative laboratory.

Centretown would like to acknowledge that Ottawa is built on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.
The Anishinaabe Algonquin peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place.
