Renowned as the voice of the Sound of Blackness, Ann Nesby joined the inspirational soul ensemble at the close of 80s under the auspices of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. The Sounds of Blackness garnered two Grammy award wins in 1991 and 1993 with Nesby at the vocal helm.



Releasing her 1996 solo debut ‘I’m Here For You’ she established herself as an artist unbound by genre; her devotion to R&B, Gospel, and Dance music has made her respected talent the world over.



Tapping Nesby for his first major stage production, Tyler Perry casted Nesby in a lead role in his 1998-2000 production, ‘I Know I’ve Been Changed.’ By 2002 she released her sophomore effort ‘Put It on Paper’ catapulted by the lead single of the same title which featured Al Green which led Nesby to her first solo Grammy Nomination in 2003.



Appearing in the 2003 major motion picture The Fighting Temptations opposite Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Beyonce Knowles Nesby would revisit the Grammys as a nominated artist a total of six times between 2004 – 2010. Her latest nominations include - Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group with Vocal for her duet with R&B crooner Calvin Richardson, “Love Has Finally Come at Last” and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for “Sow Love” from her 2009 release ‘The Lula Lee Project.’



With a career spanning career three decades in the often fickle music industry, Nesby’s artistic tenacity as a vocalist, respected songwriter (writing hit notable and hit singles for Patti Labelle and Gladys Knight), to her work as an accomplished thespian garners her the respect from fans and her industry peers. Doted as “One of the best singers in the known world” by American Idol’s Randy Jackson; Ann Nesby personifies creative longevity unlike no other.
