Full Claudette Ortiz Biography
Claudette Ortiz (born July 21, 1981 in Willingboro, New Jersey) is an American soul singer of African American and Puerto-Rican descent, most famous as the soprano in the R&B group City High although she has built somewhat of a name for herself as a solo artist.
Ortiz was born and raised in Willingboro, New Jersey. She started singing at an early age and upon reaching high school age, she met future bandmates Robby Pardlo and Ryan Toby. Ryan Toby had some entertainment industry experience working on the movie Sister Act 2. Robby and Ryan were working on a record deal with Wyclef Jean. Since Booga Basement, Wyclef's record label, already had a male duo group, Wyclef suggested to bring in Robby Parldo's back up singer ( at the time) Claudette. The trio was then formed City High.

According to IMDB, Claudette also had a son with New Jersey rapper Malicious Jynx, born on Aug 19, 2004. Her third son Joel was born Aug. 12th 2005. (Update) She is now pursuing a relationship with businessman Brandon Tucker.
