Priscilla Renea Hamilton (born September 14, 1988), known professionally as Muni Long (pronounced "money long" or "MOO-nee Long"[2]), is an American singer from Gifford, Florida. Under her birth name, she signed with Capitol Records to release her debut studio album Jukebox (2009), which was met with positive critical reception despite failing to chart. She then spent the following decade co-writing songs for other artists, including the hit singles "Promise This" for Cheryl, "California King Bed" for Rihanna, "Worth It" for Fifth Harmony, "Love So Soft" for Kelly Clarkson, "Imagine" for Ariana Grande, "Who Says" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, and the global hit "Timber" for Pitbull.[3]
She returned to her recording career in 2018, and released her second studio album, Coloured, independently in June of that year. After adopting the stage name Muni Long,[4] she saw her commercial breakthrough with her 2021 single "Hrs and Hrs", which peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and led her to sign with Def Jam Recordings. The song won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance and served as lead single for her third album, Public Displays of Affection: The Album (2022). Her 2023 single, "Made for Me", was met with similar success and also peaked within the chart's top 20.
She has received three other Grammy Award nominations throughout her career, including for Best New Artist, Best R&B Song ("Hrs & Hrs"), and a nomination for Album of the Year through her work on Back of My Mind (2021) by H.E.R.[5]
