Brandy is ready to share her story.
Hanover Square Press announced that the iconic vocalist will release her memoir Phases, on March 31, 2026.
According to the synopsis, the memoir “will chart Brandy’s ascent from singing in McComb, Mississippi churches to becoming a celebrated R&B and pop culture icon and actress. From her first record deal at just fourteen, to her album going platinum at fifteen, and starring in the hit sitcom Moesha, Brandy’s trajectory was meteoric. She broke barriers as the first Black actress to portray a Disney princess (Cinderella) on screen, alongside Whitney Houston as the fairy godmother. While she crafted the blueprint for the teenage “it” girl, pressures mounted behind the scenes to maintain a flawless image.”
In a statement, Brandy shared her excitement about the upcoming release of the memoir.
“I am so excited to finally share my full story in book form,” Brandy said. “This memoir is the result of countless hours of reflection, work, and healing. I hope readers will find comfort and inspiration in these pages.”
