Griffin was born on January 14,[1] 1968, as LaShell Renee Thomas, to mother Geraldine, whose maiden name was Mundy, and she won Oprah Winfrey's singing competition, Pop Star Challenge.[2][3] This got her a record deal with Epic Records.[3]
Her music recording career commenced in 2004, with the album, Free, and it was released by Epic Records on May 25, 2004.[4] The album was her breakthrough release upon four Billboard magazine charts, and it placed on The Billboard 200 at No. 166, Gospel Albums at No. 2, R&B Albums at No. 43, and Heatseekers Albums at No. 5.[5] While she has released two more albums, they have failed to gain any commercial traction or achieve any national exposure.[2]
