Often cited as one of today’s most dynamic vocalists, two-time GRAMMY Award winner and Philadelphia native Jazmine Sullivan took the world by storm in 2021 with the lauded Heaux Tales. The project, featuring vulnerable lyrics and candid spoken word interludes, marked Sullivan’s second #1 R&B Albums chart debut. Heaux Tales garnered widespread critical praise, appearing on numerous best-of-the-year lists, including NPR, Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork, and Vulture, and securing top 10 positions on lists by The New York Times, FADER, Complex, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Time, among others. The widespread success and cultural impact of Heaux Tales led to her inclusion in the 2022 TIME100 list of the world’s most influential people. Sullivan’s original song “Stand Up” was featured in MGM’s Orion Pictures’ film Till. This followed her stirring rendition of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic, Elvis. With new music on the horizon, Jazmine is scheduled to perform at several festivals during the summer of 2025, including the Cincinnati Music Festival, EmpowHER Festival, and Blue Note Jazz Festival.
