Jill Scott is a three-time GRAMMY Award–winning singer-songwriter, chart-topping recording artist, New York Times bestselling poet, acclaimed actor, producer, and philanthropist. For more than two decades, she has been one of the most vital and unmistakable voices in soul and R&B, an artist whose work seamlessly bridges music, storytelling, and cultural impact.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Scott’s creative foundation was shaped by poetry, community, and Black literary icons. After emerging as a key voice in the late-’90s soul movement, she made a generational impact with her groundbreaking debut Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds, Vol. 1, a double-platinum classic.

Scott's subsequent albums—including Beautifully Human, The Real Thing, The Light of the Sun, and Woman earned multiple GRAMMY wins and No. 1 debuts, cementing her reputation as both a commercial force and an artist’s artist. Beyond music, Scott has built a dynamic career in film, television, publishing, and audio

Doesn’t matter how much accomplished or how respected. Doesn’t matter how knowledgeable or wealthy or wanted or “good” we are-We LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH. LEARN while we can. I’m so sorry for this cruel loss. Sending blessing to every family who loss love ones in the crash today. This hurts. So SOOO SOOOOO painful. 😞
