Jill Scott

Jill Scott is a three-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, New York Times best-selling poet, and critically acclaimed actor. Before having the #1 album in the country with "The Light of The Sun" and performing at The White House, the triple threat began her career collaborating with musical icons such as The Roots, Will Smith, and Common in the late 90s. Celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year, she released her much anticipated debut record, "Who is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds, Vol. 1," in July 2000, which became a double platinum album that earned Scott several Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist. Never limited to music, Scott is a true multimedia brand across audio, books, TV and film. She currently plays the role of "Hazel" in the BET+ remake of the 1996 romantic comedy, The First Wives Club. A consummate writer at heart, she penned The Moments, The Minutes, The Hours, a compilation of poems that instantly became a New York Times bestseller. Jill is the lead investor in True Voice, a digital wellness platform for people of color, and she is the founder of Blues Babe, a registered 501(c)3 foundation that supports minority students pursuing college degrees.
