BRANDEE YOUNGER

AGMP Presents "No harpist thus far has been more capable of combining all of the modern harp traditions - from Salzedo, through Dorothy Ashby, through Alice Coltrane - with such strength, grace and commitment." The New York Times Brandee Younger is revolutionizing the harps' role in modern music. Over the past fifteen years, she has worked relentlessly to stretch boundaries and limitations for harpists. In 2022, she made history by becoming the first Black woman to be nominated for a Grammy(R) Award for Best Instrumental Composition. That same year, she was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award and later, the winner of the 2024 NAACP Image Award in the category of Outstanding Jazz Album for her latest album Brand New Life. Ever-expanding as an artist, she has worked with cultural icons including Common, Lauryn Hill, John Legend, Pharoah Sanders and Christian McBride. Her original composition "Hortense" was featured in the Netflix Concert-Documentary, Beyonc?: Homecoming and in 2019, Brandee was selected to perform her original music as a featured performer for Quincy Jones and Steve McQueens' "Soundtrack of America".
