Vanessa Williams broke a big rule by being the first black lady to win “Miss America.” People love her for being great on stage, in movies, and in music. She’s left a big mark in showbiz. She has lots of music fans, with over 212 million plays of her songs online and eight albums.
Six of them even got gold or platinum awards! She’s been up for 13 Grammy Awards, which shows how talented she is in music.
Now, Vanessa Williams is starting a new chapter in her career. She’s starting her own music label called Mellian Music. This means she gets to make her own decisions about her music.
She’s been away from music for 15 years, but now she’s making a big comeback. Her fans can’t wait for her new album, which will come out later this year. Her first new song, “Legs (Keep Dancing),” will be out on April 26th.
