H.E.R. Is A 'Soul Baby' With A Social Conscience

"The morning after winning two Grammy awards, R&B singer H.E.R. received an Oscar nomination for the song "Fight For You" from the film Judas and the Black Messiah. "When I came out the womb, there were instruments in the living room," H.E.R. tells All Things Considered, remembering jamming with her father's cover band when she was a little girl growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. By day, her father worked construction and her mother was, and still is, a nurse. But music was the dominant pastime."
