Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on November 30, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Des'ree! May your day be filled with more joy than the countless times we've all confidently belted out "You Gotta Be" in our cars. Your soulful voice has been a timeless soundtrack to life's ups and downs—reminding us always that we gotta stay strong, wise, and cool.

From topping charts worldwide to inspiring generations of fans with heartfelt lyrics and smooth melodies—you've truly made life sweeter (and given karaoke enthusiasts everywhere something meaningful yet fun). Here's wishing you another year full of laughter, love—and hopefully fewer people misquoting your songs at parties!

Cheers to you!
