Ledisi is not just a musician—she’s also an actress. And she’s brought to life on the big screen none other than Mahalia Jackson, Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight. No small feat. But if anyone assumes those three women are her main musical influences, they might be mistaken—because that podium belongs to Nina Simone and Curtis Mayfield.

Born in New Orleans 53 years ago, she debuted with Soulsinger (2000) and her latest release is the fabulous The Crown (2025). Her debut was a clear statement of intent as a soul singer—though her style goes beyond that: R&B and jazz also run through her veins—and she has now come full circle.. Ledisi Anibade Young is a powerhouse. The ten million people who have bought her records agree. No one should miss her live show.
