Her, short for “Having Everything Revealed,” is the stage name of American singer and songwriter Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson (born June 27, 1997). She has won numerous accolades throughout her career, including an Academy Award, five Grammys, three American Music Awards, and four Billboard Music Awards, among others.
After making a few appearances and releasing a few singles under her given name, she emerged again in 2016 as H.E.R. and released her debut EP H.E.R. Volume 1 under RCA, followed by four more EPs.
H.E.R. (2017), her debut album, featured songs from her first two EPs as well as six additional songs and was nominated for five Grammys, taking home two. Album of the Year and Song of the Year for “Hard Place” were among the five Grammy Award nominations for her second compilation album, I Used to Know Her.
She won the Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Fight for You” from the film Judas and the Black Messiah the year after it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song from the same film, “I Can’t Breathe.” She made her first full-length album, titled Back of My Mind, in June of 2021.
Who are Singer H.E.R.’s Parents?
H.E.R. was born Gabriella Wilson to Agnes and Kenny Wilson. A Filipina mother and a Black father raised her. Kenny used to play in a California band called Urban Bushmen. On the other hand, Agnes is a nurse who specialises in caring for patients who have undergone rehabilitation.
As the Covid-19 pandemic began, Gabriella gave an interview to ABC Audio in which she discussed her mother. To this day, being so far away from her and knowing that she still has to go to the hospital is terrifying, the Grammy-winning singer admitted at the time.
If you pray, maybe we can be reunited soon. Just keep her in your thoughts. After a brief pause, Gabriella continued, “We’re just thankful, there [are] some people that are going out of their way to volunteer. Thanks for everything you do in a field where resources and people are scarce, such as healthcare.

What Does H.E.R. Stand For?
When spoken, H.E.R. is pronounced as its acronym, which stands for “her” and refers to the state of having one’s secrets revealed to oneself. Gabriella told the LA Times, “I did exactly what I wanted to do, and that is to make people focus on the music.”
They’re not coming to my shows to check out my appearance but rather to feel connected to my music. She elaborated, “There are a lot of pressures on young women, especially black women.” The celebrity continued, “whether you know who I am or not, you don’t really know who I am.”
