One of the best musicians to emerge from the Twin Cities, St. Paul appeared in Purple Rain as a teenage wunderkind, playing keys with The Time on hits like “Jungle Love” and “The Bird.” He was hand-picked by Prince himself to be the lead singer of The Family (best known for “Nothing Compares 2 U”) on Prince’s Paisley Park label.

Sophia Shorai

Sophia Shorai, a contemporary jazz vocalist and singer/songwriter, is a mainstay on the Twin Cities music scene. Born in Bindura, Zimbabwe (hence, her middle name Shorai), she began classical piano and voice training at age five.
