Millennials grew up with a number of beloved singers who also shined as actors — and some are still owning the spotlight to this day.
That includes the one and only Brandy Norwood, who is set to receive a star on the coveted Hollywood Walk of Fame Monday, March 30.
The Grammy winner, 47, will receive her honor in the category of Recording, according to the Walk of Fame’s website — which will stream the ceremony live. The 11:30 a.m. PT event will be held at 6201 Hollywood Boulevard in front of Arrive Hollywood.
Fans have flooded the comments section of Brandy‘s joint Instagram post on Friday, March 20 with their support for the influential R&B singer’s latest accolade. “It’s. Her. TIME! Always has been. Glad people are finally giving rightful flowers,” wrote one user, while another person commented, “It’s Brandy season 😍 well deserved! The icon ❤️❤️.”
Regarding the latter comment — the Cinderella actress has certainly been making the rounds of late, having performed the national anthem at the 75th NBA All-Star Game last month in Intuit Dome (also in LA County).
Actress and writer Issa Rae and singer/producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds will speak at the ceremony, which will be emceed by host and sports/entertainment presenter Sibley Scoles, Billboard reports.
“Brandy has captivated audiences for decades with a voice and artistry that helped shape modern R&B and inspire generations of performers,” Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer, said in a statement, per Billboard. “Honoring her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a celebration of not only her extraordinary music career, but also her lasting impact on television, film, and popular culture.”
Brandy — born Brandy Rayana Norwood on Feb. 11, 1979, in McComb, Mississippi — is widely recognized as “The Vocal Bible” for her groundbreaking approach to R&B vocals, including intricate runs, layered harmonies and unmatched technical precision. She first rose to fame in the 1990s with her self-titled debut album, which went six times platinum and featured hits like “I Wanna Be Down” and “Brokenhearted.”
