==Career==
In 1985, six-year-old Ali began her acting career as a regular performer on the [[PBS]] children's educational program ''[[Sesame Street]]''. Her tenure included an appearance with jazz great [[Herbie Hancock]], who demonstrated his [[Fairlight CMI]] [[synthesizer]] using a sample of Ali's voice. She also appeared in two episodes of ''[[Star Search]],'' one of which featured her performance of a cover of [[Marvin Gaye]]'s and [[Tammi Terrell]]'s hit "[[Ain't No Mountain High Enough]]".

She made her breakthrough in 1990 when she was cast as Ashley Banks on the [[NBC]] television sitcom ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', a role she played throughout the series' entire run, from 1990 to 1996.

Ali's vocal talent was featured on several episodes of ''Fresh Prince'' in later seasons, prompting the show's star [[Will Smith]] to ask her if she would seriously consider pursuing a musical career. She ultimately decided, for the time being, to continue to concentrate on her acting career. In the series' final season, however, Ali performed several songs, and she began to be cleaned for her musical debut, the culmination of which was her debut album ''[[Kiss the Sky (Tatyana Ali album)|Kiss the Sky]]'' in 1998. It was [[certified gold]] in early 1999, only months after its release, and spawned the [[Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins]]-produced hit single "[[Daydreamin' (Tatyana Ali song)|Daydreamin']]", released July 21, 1998, which peaked at No. 6 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] and also appeared on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. The album spawned two further UK hits, "[[Boy You Knock Me Out]]" featuring Will Smith — which peaked at No. 3 and is her biggest hit to date — and "Everytime", which was her third top-20 hit in the UK, peaking at No. 20. She made an appearance on Smith's album ''[[Willennium]]'' on the track "Who Am I" with [[MC Lyte]]. She performed the title song "Sunny Valentine" along with [[Terrence Quaites]] for the indie film ''Rockin' Meera'' in 2005. In early 2008, she performed on the song "[[Yes We Can (will.i.am song)|Yes We Can]]", a [[will.i.am]] project supporting [[Barack Obama]]'s presidential campaign. She also appeared in the subsequent music video, which garnered coverage on the "What the Buzz" segment of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''[[World News Now]]''. In January 2014, Ali released an EP titled ''Hello'', whose first single was "Wait For It", which she performed on ''[[The Arsenio Hall Show]]'' on February 4, 2014.

Apart from her musical career, Ali continued to land roles in films such as ''[[The Brothers (2001 film)|The Brothers]]'', ''[[Glory Road (film)|Glory Road]]'', and ''[[Nora's Hair Salon]]'' (and its sequel), among others. From 2009 to 2010, she produced and starred in the [[BET]] web series ''Buppies''. She was on [[recurring status]] on the [[CBS]] [[soap opera]] ''[[The Young and the Restless]]'' as [[The Young and the Restless characters (2000s)#Roxanne|Roxanne]] from 2007 to 2013. Ali starred in the [[TV One (US TV network)|TV One]] original series ''[[Love That Girl!]]'' as Tyana (whose name was derived from Ali's given name). In 2013, she co-starred as Maya in the [[BET]] comedy ''[[Second Generation Wayans]]'', alongside [[Craig Wayans]] and [[Damien Dante Wayans]].

In 2011, Ali received the Living Legacy Award from the Caribbean Heritage Organization in Los Angeles.<ref name="CP-Aug-Sep-2011">{{cite journal|last=Ofole-Prince|first=Samantha|date=August–September 2011|title=The talented Ms. Ali:an interview with Tatyana|url=http://www.caribpress.com/2011/08/17/the-talented-ms-ali-an-interview-with-tatyana-2/|journal=CaribPress Newsmagazine|location=Los Angeles|page=5|editor1-first=Robert|editor1-last=Wheaton|access-date=August 17, 2011}}</ref><ref name='CP-Aug-Sep-2011-CHO'>{{cite journal|last=Wheaton|first=Robert|date=August–September 2011|title=Caribbean Heritage Salute in Hollywood|journal=CaribPress Newsmagazine|page=21|location=Los Angeles|editor1-first=Robert|editor1-last=Wheaton|access-date=August 17, 2011|url=http://www.caribpress.com/2011/08/16/caribbean-heritage-salute-in-hollywood/}}</ref>
