Fil-Am na si H.E.R., wagi ng 2 Grammys
NAKUHA ng artist na si Gabriella Wilson, na mas kilala bilang H.E.R., ang dalawang Grammy Awards nitong Linggo para sa Best R&B Album para sa H.E.R., at Best R&B Performance para sa kanyang duet kasama si Daniel Caesar sa Best Part.
“So first thing, I wanna say is this is unbelievable and second it’s not even an album, it’s an EP,” pahayag ni H.E.R. matapos matanggap ang award.
“I’m speechless right now, I’m holding back tears,” patuloy niya. “I really want to say thank you
to God, first and foremost, and my parents, who are in the building right now, and my sister. Mom, dad, this is for all the sacrifices that you made for me and thank you for embracing my talents and who I am since I was a little girl.”
Nominated si Gabriella sa limang Grammy category kabilang ang Album of the Year, Best New Artist, at Best R&B Song.
Noong 2018, inilabas ni H.E.R. ang kanyang dalawang EP, na I used to know her: The Prelude at I used to know her: Part 2.
Nitong nakaraang buwan lang ibinunyag niya sa kanyang appearance sa The Late Late Show with
James Corden na mayroon siyang Filipino blood. Ayon sa 21-anyos na singer, malaking bahagi ng interes niya sa musika ay dahil sa kanyang ama na isang musician at sa kanyang ina na Pilipino.
“I’m half Filipino and Filipinos love karaoke,” aniya. “I love to sing, I’ve always been around music my entire life and I just gravitated towards instruments.”
“They were at my house and my dad would rehearse with his band. So yeah, they were just available to me,” dagdag pa niya.
