About Normani

Normani was born in Atlanta and spent her early years in New Orleans, but Houston made her: her family relocated there after Hurricane Katrina, and she grew up performing in the city before auditioning for The X Factor in 2012. The show placed her in Fifth Harmony, one of the biggest girl groups of the 2010s.

As a solo artist she broke out with "Love Lies," her duet with fellow Texan Khalid, and the acclaimed single "Motivation." Her long-awaited debut album Dopamine arrived in 2024.
