Brandy | 43 Years Old

With the entertainment industry filled with numerous stars, it’s no secret that almost every celebrity has a feat that sets them apart from their colleagues. Well, for Brandy Norwood, that would be her unique timbre and impressive contralto vocal range. Even so, that doesn’t mean she didn’t begin her career on square one.

With her first few experiences singing in public dating back to when she was around two years old, Norwood eventually began her professional career as a backup vocalist for teen groups, including the R&B boy band, Immature. By 1994, she finally got her very own big break with a self-titled debut album. Since then, along with landing acting gigs for titles such as Zoe Ever After and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Norwood released her first album as an independent artist, titled B7, in 2020. Having garnered a high degree of praise from fans and critics, it’s safe to say this singer’s journey is far from over.
