Brandy’s Memoir ‘PHASES’ is Set to be Released Next Year

From platinum records at 15 to breaking barriers on screen, the singer and actress opens up about the highs and lows that shaped her.

Brandy is ready to let the world in like never before. The Grammy-winning singer and actress is preparing to release her first memoir, “PHASES,” set to arrive on March 31, 2026, through Hanover Square Press. Co-written with music journalist Gerrick Kennedy, the book promises to tell her story in full, moving beyond the headlines to explore the highs and lows of her life.

Readers can expect a journey that begins in her hometown of McComb, Miss., and traces the path that took her from a teenage girl with a dream to an international superstar. At just 14, she signed her first record deal, and by 15, she was a platinum-selling artist. Her career only expanded from there, starring in the beloved sitcom “Moesha” and making history as the first Black actress to play a Disney princess, in the role of “Cinderella.”

But she is also opening up about the challenges she’s kept private until now. In a statement, she shared her excitement about telling her story in her own words, calling the project a deeply personal journey. “Life has taken me through so many highs and lows, twists and turns, and each phase has shaped who I am today,” she wrote on Instagram.

The memoir was first teased in January, when Brandy described the writing process as one of the most difficult but rewarding experiences of her life. She explained that she chose to be fearless and vulnerable, offering her truth without the filter of media or public opinion. She described “PHASES” as more than just a book, but a reflection of resilience, hope, and rediscovery beyond the fame and spotlight.

Brandy’s story is now available for pre-order, and fans will soon get the chance to embrace every phase with her.
