Normani

Normani has established herself as a significant figure in pop and R&B music, transitioning from a successful girl group member to a solo artist with global reach and a strong brand presence. After gaining initial recognition as a contestant on ‘The X Factor USA’ in 2012, Normani was brought back to form the girl group Fifth Harmony. The group achieved significant milestones, releasing the EP ‘Better Together’ in 2013, followed by studio albums ‘Reflection’ (2015) and ‘7/27’ (2016). These albums spawned hit singles such as ‘Worth It’ and ‘Work from Home.’ Following their self-titled album in 2017, Fifth Harmony announced an indefinite hiatus in March 2018, allowing Normani to pursue a solo career.

Her transition to a solo artist began with immediate success on the 2018 collaboration ‘Love Lies’ with Khalid. The single peaked within the Billboard Hot 100’s top ten and earned quintuple platinum certification from the RIAA, marking a record-breaking first-week US single position for a girl group member. Also in 2018, Normani signed with Keep Cool/RCA Records, releasing the EP ‘Normani x Calvin Harris’ and the MTV Video Music Award-winning single ‘Waves’ featuring 6lack. Her 2019 collaboration with Sam Smith, ‘Dancing with a Stranger,’ achieved global success, reaching the top ten in 22 countries and earning a Brit Award nomination.

Beyond her music and acting, Normani is a dedicated philanthropist, serving as ambassador for The Cybersmile Foundation (addressing cyberbullying) and the American Cancer Society (advocating for breast cancer screening and HPV vaccination). She is also slated to be featured on Ciara’s ‘Ecstasy’ remix in 2025.
