Earlier this week, it was announced that H.E.R. will join Jon Batiste, Chris Stapleton, Nas, and more as GRAMMY performers this year. Previously, H.E.R. performed “Hard Place" at the GRAMMYs in 2019, and debuted her single “Sometimes” at the award show in 2020.
At 24 years old, H.E.R. is a GRAMMY darling, beloved by The Recording Academy for her musicianship. In her lifetime, the multi-instrumentalist has already reached career milestones such as winning her first GRAMMY Award at just 21-years-old. “I’m grateful to be leading a generation, and just being recognized alone is crazy. It hasn’t fully hit me, but it all feels insane,” H.E.R. told Billboard in an interview.
H.E.R. approaches every musical endeavor humbly, whether she's making a socially conscious record like “I Can’t Breathe” or an acclaimed film score like “Fight For You.” Moreover, the singer-songwriter is one of the most nominated artists at the 2022 GRAMMYs. Following jazz musician Jon Batiste, who has 11 nods, H.E.R. has eight nods including Album of the Year for her debut studio album Back of My Mind.
Standout tracks on her debut project include “Back Of My Mind” and “Damage,” both of which have been nominated for a GRAMMY. Her additional nominations are for Song of The Year, Best R&B Album, Best R&B Song, Best R&B Performance, Best Song Written for Visual Media, Best Traditional R&B Performance, and Best Contemporary Christian Performance/Song. “It was a lot of years leading up to this point, but I look back at my journey, and I’m so grateful that it led me here,” H.E.R. additionally told Billboard.
