Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson (born June 27, 1997), known professionally as H.E.R. (/hɛər/ HAIR) is an American singer and songwriter. She has won 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.
After initially recording under her birth name, she adopted the stage name H.E.R. in 2016 and signed with RCA Records to release her debut extended play (EP), H.E.R. Volume 1, in September of that year. It was followed by four subsequent EPs, the first two of which were part of her self-titled compilation album (2017), which peaked at number 23 on the Billboard 200 and, from five total nominations, won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album and Best R&B Performance for its single, "Best Part" (with Daniel Caesar).[1] Her second compilation album, I Used to Know Her (2019), was met with similar commercial success and likewise received five Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for its single, "Hard Place".[2]
In 2021, she won her third Grammy Award for Song of the Year with her George Floyd protest-inspired single "I Can't Breathe." That same year, her song "Fight for You"—released for the film Judas and the Black Messiah—won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance. Her debut studio album, Back of My Mind (2021), was met with critical acclaim and peaked at number six on the Billboard 200.[2] In 2022, she won the Children's and Family Emmy Award for her contributions to Barack and Michelle Obama's animated children's series, We the People.
