This American singer-songwriter and producer has been turning heads throughout her long-standing career in both the music industry and LGBTQ community. With seven studio albums under her belt and 18 Grammy Award nominations spanning multiple genres, Brandi Carlile graces the stage with true originality and musicianship. On the day she had planned to promote her new brand of rosé wine earlier this year, she decided instead to post a powerful statement relating to the latest anti-LGBTQ legislation throughout the United States, educating her fans and those watching on states like Texas and Florida that continue to spew hateful and exclusive legislation to the queer community. Because of her continued voice as a gay musician and educator, Carlile was presented with the Visibility Award, an honor “for LGBTQ+ individuals who are living open and honest lives at home, at work, and in their greater community.”
