An acclaimed singer-songwriter already with hits under her belt, Brandi Carlile made an even bigger impression on the music world in 2019. It all started in February at the Grammys, where, already the most nominated artist that evening, she received additional acclaim and Twitter love for her performance of her son "The Joke". As her combined 500K+ Instagram and Twitter followers know, her impact continues off the stage, where she is a staunch activist and advocate for a variety of causes, using her music and platform to help those less fortunate. 2020 will be another big year for the Washington State native, receiving four Grammy nominations for her work as a producer.
