Biography

"I'm not a diva. I'm a tadpole trying to be a frog."

Braxton won her first career GRAMMYs for 1993 for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance honors for "Another Sad Love Song." She made her GRAMMY stage debut that year, performing "Breathe Again" and "Forever In Love" with Kenny G at the 36th GRAMMY Awards in 1994.
