We know that H.E.R is talented. Come on, the songwriter is halfway towards an EGOT (and in case you live under a rock, that means Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony), per Oprah Daily.
But her goal as a musician is more than just about selling records — it's the meaning behind her songs, the outlet added. It's why she specifically chose her stage name as H.E.R, an acronym for Having Everything Revealed. "I reveal who I am and my stories and my emotions, and music is an outlet for me," she expressed. "But it's all revealed through my music and my message. Even though I don't show my face and I don't tell people who I am or more about me...you get to know who I am in my music," (via 1035 The Beat).
It's no surprise that the R&B singer writes most of her music from her diary (via Elle). She credits her zodiac sign (a cancer) as her reasoning towards making emotionally driven music, songs that give fans a glimpse into her life, noting, "It's all things I think about: All of these thoughts I pull from the deepest, darkest places, and I guess that's why people love it so much — because they're the things that we're afraid to say."
