Normani Kordei Hamilton (/nɔːrˈmɑːni/ nor-MAH-nee; born May 31, 1996),[1] known mononymously as Normani, is an American singer and dancer. She first rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, which became one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. While in Fifth Harmony, she competed in Dancing with the Stars (2017). She embarked on a solo career with her 2018 debut single "Love Lies" (with Khalid), which peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Following Fifth Harmony's indefinite hiatus, Normani released a two-song EP with Calvin Harris, Normani x Calvin Harris (2018). She went on to collaborate with 6lack on the single "Waves", which won a MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Video. Her 2019 duet with English singer Sam Smith, "Dancing with a Stranger," reached the top ten in 22 countries, and earned her a nomination at the Brit Awards for Song of the Year. Later that year, she released her first solo single, "Motivation" to critical acclaim. She appeared in the music video for Cardi B's 2020 single "WAP," who would later feature on Normani's 2021 single "Wild Side."

Normani also collaborated with Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and Megan Thee Stallion on the Charlie's Angels: Original Motion Picture and Birds of Prey soundtracks. She served as an advisor on Season 17 of the NBC competition series The Voice. In 2024, she made her feature film debut in the film Freaky Tales. She is working on her first studio album, Dopamine.
