ABOUT GABRIELLA WILSON
Gabriella Wilson known professionally as H.E.R.(pronounced \"her\", also an acronym for \"Having Everything Revealed\"), I’m an American R&B singer and songwriter. Who has received an Academy Award, a Children\'s and Family Emmy Award, and five Grammy Awards, along with nominations for a Golden Globe Award, three American Music Awards, and four Billboard Music Awards. In 2011, at age 14, I signed a record deal with Sony\'s RCA Records via J Records, in a deal arranged by her manager Jeff Robinson\'s MBK Entertainment. Her debut single \"Something to Prove\" was released under my real name.After initially recording under my birth name, I adopted the stage name H.E.R. in 2016, and released my debut extended play (EP) H.E.R. Volume 1 the same year through RCA Records, followed up with four subsequent EPs. My first self-titled compilation album (2017) consisted of tracks from my first two EPs, and received five nominations at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, including my first wins for Best R&B Album and Best R&B Performance for its single,\"Best Part\"(with Daniel Caesar). My second compilation album, I Used to Know Her (2019), also received five Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for its single \"Hard Place\".In 2021, I was awarded my third Grammy Award for Song of the Year with George Floyd protest-inspired single \"I Can\'t Breathe\". That same year, the song \"Fight for You\"—released for the film Judas and the Black Messiah—won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and later earned the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance the following year. My debut studio album, Back of My Mind was released in June 2021 to critical and commercial success. In 2022, I won the Children\'s and Family Emmy Award for my contributions on Barack and Michelle Obama\'s animated children\'s series, We the People.
