Normani Hamilton - Singers, Career and Childhood

Normani recorded her first single at the age of 13. She appeared on the HBO original series Treme. However, this was a very small role. Normani was a finalist in the Miss Texas competition. She then became a part of the girl group, Fifth Harmony on The X Factor US where the band was catapulted into stardom. However, she gained recent fame when the 20-year-old quit twitter due to the cyberbullying that she faced through internet trolls. According to the singer, she has no right to deny anybody their views, but two days before she quit twitter she was not only cyberbullied but also racially bullied. This event turned out to be a major attention gainer for her.

Later, she also addressed her bandmates saying that she has equal and lots of love for all of them. Another Facebook live interview was a life turner for Normani, when she addressed Camilla Cabello, her bandmate as very quirky. This comment was not very well taken by the media and her fans.

Normani Kordei is well known for her performance at the X Factor auditions. She had sung Aretha Franklin’s bit “Chain of Fools”. Normani is also known for her pride as an African American singer. She knows this very well that she isn’t the lone person to do this. She knows very well that she has to suffer through all the abuse just like every other African American star does. However, even though she had to face all the hate and slander, she left a heartfelt note saying that love counts much more and longer in the world than hate and that she loves all her band members whether the world chooses to believe it or not. This quality of Normani, to believe in the good is what makes her special.

Her mother, Andrea was diagnosed with cancer when Normani was just 6 years old. Normani’s favorite color is pink. She owns two dogs, one which she got when she was just 6 years old and the other when she was older.
