Iconic Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress and philanthropist, Mary J. Blige is a figure of inspiration, transformation and empowerment making her one of the defining voices of the contemporary music era. With a track record of eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 32 nominations), a 2012 Golden Globe nomination, and four American Music Awards, Blige is a global superstar. In the ensuing years, the singer/songwriter has attracted an intensely loyal fan base—responsible for propelling worldwide sales of more than 50 million albums.
In 2014, Blige released her 13th studio album, The London Sessions through Capitol Records, which was made while spending a month during the summer in London. The album reached the Number One position on the Top R&B Albums chart. Blige also captured all the moments it took to create her album in film. The documentary for Blige’s The London Sessions premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival 2015 featuring a behind-the-scenes look of her recording sessions and collaboration with Britain’s hottest recording artists.
Ramping up her acting career, Blige has recently guest-starred on ABC comedy, Black-ish and FOX musical drama, Empire and will next star in The Wiz as Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wiz, adapted from L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, premieres Thursday, Dec. 3 on NBC.
Tamar Braxton’s entry into the music industry came through her five-member sibling group, The Braxtons, which featured older sisters Traci, Trina, Towanda, and, most notably, Toni. Tamar released a self-titled album in 2000 that placed two singles on the charts, including the Top 30 R&B hit “If You Don’t Wanna Love Me,” co-written by Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and Xscape’s LaTocha Scott. Her December 2012 single “Love and War” peaked at Number Five on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart and preceded her album of the same title, released the following September. It debuted at Number Two on the Billboard 200. Tamar has also taken part in the reality series’ Braxton Family Values and Tamar & Vince.
