In an air of intrigue, H.E.R. (Having Everything Revealed) stands as a compelling figure in R&B. Born Gabriella Wilson, this powerhouse vocalist unveiled her talent to the world, all while initially masterfully preserving her anonymity. The ironic contradiction between her veil and the heart-on-sleeve transparency of her lyrics resonated with fans, catapulting her to the apex of contemporary R&B. Always one to illuminate the path for others, she's now bringing her brand of brilliance to the stage. The singer serves as the beacon for her upcoming Lights On Festival in September.
