Brittany Howard is a luminary force in contemporary music, recognized for her richly emotional voice and daring artistry. Born on October 2, 1988, Howard hails from Athens, Alabama. She rocketed to fame as the lead vocalist and guitarist of the American rock band Alabama Shakes, whose 2012 debut album "Boys & Girls" earned critical and commercial applause, catapulting them to the forefront of the music scene. The band's blues-infused rock, coupled with Howard's potent and soulful vocals, garnered them several prestigious awards, including Grammys.

In recent years, Howard has expanded her creative horizon with a solo career that magnifies her remarkable talents. Her debut solo album, "Jaime," released in 2019, is a deeply personal project named after her late sister and explores themes of identity, love, and social issues with a raw authenticity that has become a hallmark of her work. The album's critical success led to Howard reworking its tracks into "Jaime (Reimagined)," which further exhibits her versatility as a musician. Beyond her solo work, Howard has also contributed to soundtracks like "Minions: The Rise of Gru" with the track "Shining Star," and she has lent her voice to socially conscious projects, including the Netflix Series "We The People." With a commanding presence and innovative spirit, Brittany Howard continues her ascent as one of the most compelling artists in the music industry today.
