New artist repels famous persona
The buzz about her work with The Roots helped land her a record deal of her own on the fledgling label Hidden Beach, a division of Sony Music. Although her album was eagerly anticipated within the industry, Scott is still surprised at its success once it hit the streets.
BURBANK, Calif. — It's Grammy week, and Jill Scott is midway through a hectic day when a photographer tries to coax a smile out of the best new artist nominee. A tired, irritated gaze appears instead.
Scott was the original voice on the tune, but was replaced by Badu for bigger sales. That was fine with Scott.
Although she loves the energy that audiences give her, Scott says crisscrossing the country has left her drained.
"It seems like it took on a life of its own and ran," she says, remembering when the album had sold 8,000 copies. "Ah! You have no idea how happy I was about that. Eight-thousand people had my album — that is a lot of people."

At tonight's Grammy Awards ceremony, Scott is to perform with Moby and the Blue Man Group. She has a chance to take home three awards, including the coveted one for best new artist. Her competition in that category is Sisgo, Lybynne, Brad Paisley and Papa Roach.
Scott, who co-wrote the songs on her album, got her start as a poet in the Philadelphia club scene after dropping out of Temple University. She hooked up with the rap group The Roots and penned the hook sung by Erykah Badu on "You Got Me," which earned Badu and the Roots a Grammy last year.

"I'm really hoping for much more balance between this career and my life, because I need to live, I need to be invisible," says Scott.
Now, the album has passed the 1 million mark. Scott's tour dates have been selling out, and she recently snagged a one-month gig as Sting's opening act in May.
The 28-year-old Philadelphia native admits she's still having trouble adjusting to the demands of celebrity since the release of Who Is Jill Scott?, a soulful, poetic debut that has brought her comparisons to contemporaries like Ervkah Badu and jazz greats from the past.
"It's overwhelming. I look at a lot of stars, and I wonder, how do they handle that? I'm not a star," she says. "I don't know how they do all that? I'm take photograph after photograph."
