Muni Long Essentials
R&B singer-songwriter Muni Long builds intentional worlds of love and desire. Born Priscilla Renea Hamilton in Florida in 1988, Long is an industry veteran, having co-written songs behind the scenes for some of the world’s biggest pop stars, including Rihanna (2011’s “California King Bed”) and Ariana Grande (2018’s “Imagine”). As an artist in the spotlight, Long further explores the peaks and valleys of romance, speaking to the universal experiences of desire (“Build a Bae”), heartbreak (“Just Beginning”) and miscommunication (“No Signal”). Her viral 2021 breakthrough, the deeply amorous hit single “Hrs & Hrs”, received multiple remixes due to its popularity, including a take by R&B mainstay Usher. Muni Long is adept at relaying the multitudes of intimacy, and the magnetism of her skills is palpable in every song.
