Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Ledisi is an American singer-songwriter and actress. She began her career as the lead character Dorothy Gale in an Antioch Community Theater production of The Wiz in Antioch, California.[1][2] Her performance earned a Shellie Award nomination for Best Actress in the same year.[1] After forming her first independent record label LeSun Music, she released two albums Soulsinger (2000) and Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue (2002), the latter of which won "Outstanding Jazz Album" at the California Music Awards in 2003.

She secured two nominations at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in 2008, including Best New Artist.[3] Her albums Lost & Found (2007), Turn Me Loose (2009), Pieces of Me (2011), and Let Love Rule (2017) have all garnered Grammy Award nominations for Best R&B Album.[3] In 2020, Ledisi released a single "Anything for You", which won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance at 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.[3] She received a nomination for Outstanding Breakthrough Performance in a Motion Picture at the 54th NAACP Image Awards in 2023.
