ABOUT MARY J. BLIGE
Iconic Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, producer and philanthropist, Mary J. Blige is a figure of inspiration, transformation and empowerment making her one of the defining voices of the contemporary music era. With a track record of eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 32 nominations), two Academy Award nominations, two Golden Globe nominations, and a SAG nomination, among many other accolades, Blige has cemented herself as a global superstar. And in the ensuing years, the singer/songwriter has attracted an intensely loyal fan base responsible for propelling worldwide sales of more than 50 million albums.

Blige brought her own gritty, urban-rooted style fusing hip-hop, soul and honest, frank lyrics to the forefront on her 1992 debut album What’s the 411? The multi-platinum set, executive produced by Sean “Diddy” Combs, quickly spun off several hits. Blige helped redefine R&B and began forging a unique niche for herself on the more personal second album, 1994’s My Life.

And thus began the Blige movement: connecting legions of fans that identify with and have accompanied her throughout her personal travails and growth—all fearlessly related through her music. Each subsequent album reads like a chapter from an autobiography: Share My World (1997), Mary (1999), No More Drama (2001), Love & Life (2003), the multiple Grammy-winning and hit-spewing The Breakthrough (2005), Growing Pains (2007), Stronger with Each Tear (2009), My Life II... The Journey Continues (2011), A Mary Christmas (2013), and The London Sessions (2014). Along the way, she’s lined up a string of hit singles, including Not Gon’ Cry, Love Is All We Need, Seven Days, All That I Can Say, Family Affair and Just Fine. Blige most recently released her 14th studio album Strength of a Woman in 2017.

On the acting side, Blige starred as Florence Jackson in the 2017 Netflix breakout film MUDBOUND, for which she received critical acclaim including two Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song. She starred in the Netflix series THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY, which premiered on the platform in February 2019. On the producing side, Blige launched her own production company, Blue Butterfly, and signed a first-look TV deal with Lionsgate.

Most recently, Blige voiced a character in Dreamworks’ TROLLS WORLD TOUR and was an executive producer alongside Queen Latifah and Missy Elliot on LIFETIME’s THE CLARK SISTERS: FIRST LADIES OF GOSPEL.

Next up, Blige will star in Kerem Sanga’s The Violent Heart and under her production company Blue Butterfly, Blige is serving as the Executive Producer on the Vanessa Roth Untitled Documentary about Blige’s legendary career. She will also star in MGM’s Aretha Franklin biopic, Respect, as jazz singer Dinah Washington, set for release Christmas Day. Blige is currently filming STARZ’s POWER BOOK II: GHOST, a new television series inspired by the original show, POWER.

ABOUT NAT WOLFF

Most recently, Wolff starred in the military action film The Kill Team opposite Alexander Skarsgård, as well as crime thriller Semper Fi, directed by Henry-Alex Rubin, who called Wolff “a young DiCaprio… highly likeable yet always mischievous and unpredictable.” Previously, he starred in Stella’s Last Weekend, alongside brother, Alex Wolff, directed by mother, Polly Draper.
