Chaka Khan is one of the world’s most gifted and celebrated musicians, with a rich musical legacy. The10-time GRAMMY® Award-winner is a songwriter, actor, author, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and activist. Chaka Khan has influenced generations of recording artists. Throughout her legendary career, Chaka has released 22 albums, featuring her rare ability to sing in seven music genres, including R&B, pop, rock, gospel, country, world music, and classical. The late, great Miles Davis often said, “She [Chaka] sings like my horn.” The Queen of Soul, ArethaFranklin added, “[Chaka] is a one-of-a-kind, premier vocalist.” Chaka has always made time to support and uplift her community. She has a deep commitment to women and children at risk, which led her to establish the Chaka Khan Foundation in 1999. Initially, the foundation focused primarily on public awareness campaigns around the diagnosis, intervention, available family resources, and the search for a cure for autism.

I am Sandra Coleman’s daughter and I am definitely going to #VOTE for her & my daughters 💜@wearetwist2020 ・・・ Patti Austin’s keen interest in being a total entertainer likely started when she stepped onto the stage of the world-famous, Apollo Theater in Harlem when, at the age of four, and at the urging of music legend Dinah Washington. She was already a recording artist in teens achieving her first chart success in 1969 with, “The Family Tree.” During the 70s, Patti was the undisputed Queen of the New York session scene. Her voice was heard behind everyone from Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, James Brown, Joe Cocker, to Bette Midler, Roberta Flack, Luther Vandross, and Diana Ross; and on countless memorable commercial jingles. After a series of much-acclaimed albums, she signed with her godfather, Quincy Jones’ Qwest Label and began achieving mainstream success on an international level thanks to the GRAMMY®-nominated hit, "Baby Come To Me." Her now-classic duet with James Ingram, and the follow-up duet, the Oscar-nominated "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" The many twisted roads she has travelled as a musician fuels, not only her creativity, but her commitment to giving back. Her, The Over My Shoulder Foundation, is a media-based project celebrating the importance and impact of mentoring; cross-culturally and cross-generationally. And… Patti is the creator of TWIST2020.
