The Walk of Fame Selection Panel from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has revealed that both Grammy-winning singers will be awarded stars on the renowned Hollywood Walk of Fame, solidifying their lasting contributions in the Recording category.
Toni Braxton is an award-winning artist, actress, and philanthropist who has won seven Grammy Awards and has had a career lasting over thirty years, making her one of the most renowned voices in R&B history. She was born on October 7, 1967, in Severn, Maryland, and gained prominence in the early 1990s with her debut album, which featured popular songs such as “Another Sad Love Song” and “Breathe Again.” Her rich contralto voice and sincere lyrics quickly positioned her as a significant presence in the music scene.
In addition to her music career, Braxton has made a significant impact in acting and reality TV, featuring in Broadway shows such as Aida and the reality series Braxton Family Values, which highlighted her life and her strong connection with her gifted siblings.
Joining Braxton in the 2024 class of honorees is Brandy Norwood, affectionately dubbed the “Vocal Bible” for her unmatched vocal ability and innovative harmonies. From her debut self-titled album, featuring classics like “I Wanna Be Down” and “Baby,” to her groundbreaking role in the television series Moesha, Brandy has been a cultural force for nearly three decades.
The Grammy-winning artist has also made history with her music, including the chart-topping duet “The Boy Is Mine” with Monica and her genre-defining albums like Full Moon and Never Say Never. Brandy’s influence on music, fashion, and television continues to resonate with fans and artists alike.
Brandy and Toni will be part of an outstanding 2024 Walk of Fame inductees group, which features music mogul Dr. Dre and pop icon Gwen Stefani, turning this year’s selection into a genuine tribute to musical greatness. The announcement has generated enthusiasm among fans, who are keen to witness these iconic women recognized for their remarkable impact on the entertainment world.
