Ledisi is a vocal powerhouse who has risen to R&B superstardom, chart-topping at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 2 on the Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums for her fifth studio album “Pieces of Me”. • • • Ledisi’s extensive training background in classical, opera, jazz, and piano, coupled with her stellar work ethic and artistic ability, has led her to become a 12x GRAMMY-nominated recording artist. In addition to that, Ledisi is an avid supporter and advocate for the arts, an educator, author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, songwriter, producer, and innovator. Having been personally invited to perform at the White House on more than 9 occasions by the 44th President and First Lady Obama, Ledisi has also been lauded by such musical greats as Stevie Wonder, Patti Labelle, Smokey Robinson, Bill Withers and Prince, to name a few. • • • This week, Ledisi sets out to embark upon a 23-city North American tour under the same name as her latest project and GRAMMY nominated 9th studio album, “Let Love Rule”. The project was released in September 2017 and has gone on to earn 3 GRAMMY nominations in the “Best R&B Album,” “Best R&B Performance” (High), and “Best Traditional R&B Performance” (All The Way) categories. • • • Two incredible R&B/Soul songstresses, Tweet and Melanie Fiona, will be joining Ledisi on her upcoming national headlining tour, “Let Love Rule”.

B L A C K M U S I C H E R S T O R Y • • • Aretha Franklin “Queen of Soul” became the very first woman and first black woman to ever be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and she was recognised in the “Performers” category. • • • In honour of #ThrowBackThursday, we salute all iconic #blackwomeninmusic inductees who are part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! With black women in music currently representing 5.9% of the 323 inductees in total, we are hopeful to see continued progress for representation for underrepresented women and especially women of colour. • • • #tbt #blackwomeninmusic #icon #legendary #herstorymaker #trendsetter #intersectionalfeminism #blackgirlmagic #blackmusicherstory #rockandrollhalloffame #arethafranklin #thesupremes #bessiesmith #marainey #tinaturner #lavernbaker #dinahwashington #ettajames #ruthbrown #marthaandthevandellas #gladysknight #theshirelles #mahaliajackson #thestaplesingers #billieholiday #theronettes #donnasummer #ninasimone #sisterrosettatharpe (at London, United Kingdom)
