In celebration of Black History month, SONY Music is spotlighting Black entertainers whose work is so impactful, it has both transformed and elevated pop culture to a higher level. To start off, SONY Music’s Certified Presents Black History Month: The Music That Made Us will highlight the many achievements of songwriter extraordinaire Kandi Burruss.
Before she became a renowned entrepreneur, restaurateur and reality show staple on Bravo's hit show, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kandi had already established herself as one of the most prolific songwriters of our time. She’s the creative pen behind a number of hit songs performed by Alicia Keys, Destiny’s Child, Mariah Carey, NSYNC, P!nk, TLC, Usher and more. Not to mention the hit songs she wrote while singing with her childhood friends in Xscape.
Next month, Kandi is back with her own spinoff show on Bravo called Kandi & The Gang. The show follows Kandi, her husband, Todd Tucker, and the staff at her Atlanta based family restaurant, Old Lady Gang (OLD), which is inspired by her aunts and mother.
