With praise from icons like Prince, R&B star Ledisi stepped away from her major label to go independent. The result is The Wild Card, a triumphant, funky soul record that inspired Rolling Stone to herald Ledisi as “an elite vocal athlete…with shades of Sarah Vaughan and Chaka Khan.” 

The accolades keep coming for this 13-time Grammy nominee: 3 Soul Train Music awards, an NAACP Theater Award, 6 NAACP Image Award nominations, and 2 LA Alliance Ovation Award nominations. Her unparalleled vocals wow with sheer power and earned her roles portraying Mahalia Jackson in The Tale of Four and Patti LaBelle on the hit BET series American Soul.
