About H.E.R.

This year, H.E.R. adds to her collection a Song of the Year Grammy Award for “I Can’t Breathe,” written in response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and countless other Black lives lost unnecessarily to police brutality. She also earned a Best R&B Song Grammy Award for her contribution to Robert Glasper’s “Better Than I Imagined.” In 2019, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album (H.E.R.) and Best R&B Performance (“Best Part” featuring Daniel Caesar) and a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Female Artist, among additional awards and accolades.
To date, H.E.R. has accrued nearly 6 billion combined audio and streams worldwide – and counting – of the breakthrough projects H.E.R. (RIAA-certified Platinum), I Used To Know Her, and hit singles including “Damage,” which reached #1 on the Hip-Hop/R&B Radio chart. H.E.R. keeps the momentum going with her latest single, “Come Through,” featuring multi-Platinum, Grammy Award winner Chris Brown, from her upcoming album, Back Of My Mind, slated for release this summer via MBK Entertainment/RCA Records.
Over the years, H.E.R. has captivated audiences with countless stellar performances including the Super Bowl LV, 72nd Emmy Awards, Grammy Awards (2x), Saturday Night Live, ABC’s Soul of a Nation, Let’s Go Crazy: The Grammy Salute to Prince, A BET COVID-19 Relief Effort Special, Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class of 2020; plus all of the morning and late night television shows. She has also participated in fundraising activities to benefit various charity efforts including COVID relief and Black Lives Matter.
In 2019, H.E.R. and producer partner Live Nation Urban, introduced the Lights On Festival, the first female owned and curated R&B festival in decades. While the world was under quarantine due to COVID-19, H.E.R. created “Girls With Guitars,” an Instagram Live performance and conversation series which featured guest appearances by Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Willow Smith, Tori Kelly, Alessia Cara, Chloe x Halle, Lianna La Havas, Nai Palm (Hiatus Kaiyote) and more. In addition to starring in Pepsi’s new “Zero Sugar. Done Right” Super Bowl LIV commercial alongside Missy Elliott, she launched her very own eyewear partnership with Diff with a charitable component, Capsule collaboration with Lewis Hamilton and Tommy Hilfiger, and her signature guitar line with Fender.
