In 1991, Jada Pinkett-Smith had her big break when she received a role in the NBC sitcom, “A Different World”. Two years later, she made her feature debut in the 1993 film, Menace II Society. Although she received a couple of on-screen gigs including “Demon Knight”, “Jason’s Lyric” and “The Inkwell”, she did not gain instant and widespread recognition until she played alongside Eddie Murphy in the 1996 remake of “The Nutty Professor”.
In 2001, Jada Pinkett-Smith appeared with her husband Will Smith in the critically acclaimed film, “Ali”, playing the first wife of Cassis Clay. However, Jada won the hearts of all ages worldwide when she starred as the kickass commander Niobe in the Matrix series.

She is set to appear in the 2008 movie, “The Women” and lend her voice again in the second part of the animated movie Madagascar, “Madagascar 2 The Lost Island”.

Her band released a self-titled album on February 21, 2006, toured Ozzfest in 2005, and played at the Download Festival in the United Kingdom. Jada Pinkett-Smith also has her own line of women’s dresses and shirts called “Maja”.
