Judith Hill Named as a First Confirmed Honoree for the 2026 ‘She Rocks Awards’
“The Women’s International Music Network (WiMN) is proud to announce that the 14th annual She Rocks Awards will take place on Friday, January 23, 2026, at the Hilton Anaheim Pacific Ballroom, with NAMM as the presenting sponsor.”
Judith Hill – a gutsy and nuanced vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist whose career bridges work with icons like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, and Spike Lee. Featured in the Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, she first gained global attention singing at Jackson’s memorial and has since built a solo career with acclaimed albums including Back in Time (2015), Golden Child (2018), Baby, I’m Hollywood! (2021), and Letters from a Black Widow (2024).
(Judith is one of the four honorees.)
Judith Hill is an accomplished songwriter, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist – and one of the few musicians who can cite Elton John, Spike Lee, Prince, and Michael Jackson among those who have sought out her talent.
One of the highest-profile background singers of her generation, she got her start in the early 2000s, and in the next decade established a solo career built upon a discography of increasingly refined and creative albums that includes the Prince-produced Back in Time (2015), Golden Child (2018), Baby, I’m Hollywood! (2021), and her recent album, Letters from a Black Widow (2024).

Judith Hill Latest Album - Letters from a Black Widow:
Anyone who’s followed Judith Hill’s story will recognize Letters from a Black Widow as one jaw-dropper of an album title. The tabloid-coined phrase “Black Widow” arose after the overdose deaths of her two star-making collaborators, Michael Jackson and Prince. It became a term of abuse that internet trolls hurled at the celebrated artist, driving conspiracy theories and shame campaigns – trauma that nearly ended a career that includes a Grammy for her role in the Oscar-winning documentary film “20 Feet from Stardom.”
“For years the Black Widow was such a dark presence in my life that was too looming and intimidating to even talk about,” Hill says.
But a year into the pandemic, she had time and space for a momentous reckoning.
“Being forced to stop allowed me to reach a deeper place, to really marinate and figure out what’s at my core, what I really needed to talk about. I found I had the courage and strength to face all this – to be authentic to my core, to dive into the whole experience, and turn an ocean of darkness into expressive fire.”
Give me chaos and give me pain/but you can never K*ll my flame. Hill says this is the kind of power she could only access by moving through that mountain.
“All the guilt, shame, and paranoia can get to be like a cancer growing in you,” she shares. “You feel like nobody will understand, nobody will really care, and this becomes your whole reality. Making songs about it means giving yourself permission to even speak. It’s a kindness to yourself to even pick up the paintbrush and draw it, and it can take on a momentum of its own.”
-
Hill’s journey is as powerful as her music. Her newest album, Letters from a Black Widow, is a raw, soulful exploration of loss, love, and resilience.
