Willa Ford released her debut album in 2001 on Atlantic Records, with the single "I Wanna Be Bad" getting attention. She was born Amanda Jo Ford in Russellville, Kentucky.
Her second album included the song "A Toast to Men," which became her most recognizable track. Other songs from that period include "Did Ya' Understand That" and "Joke's On You."
She had a relationship with rapper Chingy in 2003 that drew media coverage. Ford continued performing and recording after that, though her music career became less prominent over time.
