Muni Long

Priscilla Renea Hamilton (born September 14, 1988), known professionally as Muni Long (pronounced "money long”; formerly known as Priscilla Renea), is an American singer and songwriter from Gifford, Florida. Under her birth name, she signed with Capitol Records to release her debut studio album ''Jukebox'' (2009), which was met with positive critical reception despite failing to chart. She then spent the following decade co-writing songs for other artists, namely the singles "Promise This" by Cheryl, "California King Bed" by Rihanna, "Worth It" by Fifth Harmony, "Love So Soft" by Kelly Clarkson, "Imagine" by Ariana Grande, "Who Says" by Selena Gomez & the Scene, and the global hit "Timber" by Pitbull.

She returned to her recording career in 2018, and released her second studio album, ''Coloured'', independently in June of that year. She adopted the stage name Muni Long the following year, and saw a commercial breakthrough with her 2021 single "Hrs and Hrs". A sleeper hit, the song peaked within the top 20 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, led her to sign with Def Jam Recordings, and won Best R&B Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. Furthermore, it served as lead single for her third album, ''Public Displays of Affection: The Album'' (2022), which narrowly entered the ''Billboard'' 200. Her 2023 single, "Made for Me", was met with similar success and also peaked within the ''Billboard'' Hot 100's top 20; it preceded her fourth album, ''Revenge'' (2024), which was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards despite failing to chart.

She has received three other Grammy Award nominations throughout her career, including for Best New Artist, Best R&B Song ("Hrs & Hrs"), and a nomination for Album of the Year through her work on ''Back of My Mind'' (2021) by H.E.R. Provided by Wikipedia
