Event Description
Jill Scott is a three-time GRAMMY Award–winning singer-songwriter, chart-topping recording artist, New York Times bestselling poet, acclaimed actor, producer, and philanthropist. For more than two decades, she has been one of the most vital and unmistakable voices in soul and R&B, an artist whose work seamlessly bridges music, storytelling, and cultural impact.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Scott’s creative foundation was shaped by poetry, community, and Black literary icons. Her love of language became the cornerstone of a career defined by emotional honesty, lyrical precision, and fearless self-expression. After emerging as a key voice in the late-’90s soul movement, she made a generational impact with her groundbreaking debut Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds, Vol. 1, a double-platinum classic that remains a cultural touchstone.
Scott's subsequent albums—including Beautifully Human, The Real Thing, The Light of the Sun, and Woman earned multiple GRAMMY wins and No. 1 debuts, cementing her reputation as both a commercial force and an artist’s artist. Beyond music, Scott has built a dynamic career in film, television, publishing, and audio, while continuing to connect deeply with audiences worldwide.

The Center’s name honors the contributions of the people of the state of North Carolina as well as the generosity of the Blumenthal Foundation, the largest private donor to the capital campaign.
