Though she sang in musicals and talent shows throughout her childhood, Charlotte, NC, native Sunshine Anderson was discovered while she was waiting in line in a cafeteria at North Carolina Central University, where she earned a B.S. in criminal justice. A friend of producer/Soulife A&R Vice President Mike City heard Anderson humming while she waited and introduced her to City. After she graduated from college, Anderson moved to Washington, D.C., and took a government job in human resources, but eventually relocated to Los Angeles, where she worked with City on her 2001 debut album Your Woman and found a manager in critically acclaimed singer Macy Gray. Sunshine at Midnight followed nearly six years later. Heather Phares, All Music Guide
