Normani opened up about being “heartbroken” when Fifth Harmony announced they were going on a hiatus.

Entertainment Tonight spoke to the singer at the Daily Front Row‘s 4th annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards (see video below), and she revealed that it was “very scary” for her and her bandmates when they unveiled they would be taking a break from the band and says it only really became real once they spoke about it.

She told ET’s Keltie Knight: [It was] very scary and heartbreaking for me personally. The first day that we even put out the announcement for the hiatus, it was the toughest day…

“So many people saying, ‘Oh my god, what happened? What’s wrong?’ Just having that attention on something that you already know is real and the fact that now everybody else knows it’s real, it’s like, ‘Wow, this is really happening.'”

The 21-year-old continued: “It’s definitely going to be an adjustment. It’s all I’ve known for the last six years, but I’m excited… It’s a discovery for myself, you know? There are so many people that are excited for me, trying to see, ‘Oh, what is she gonna do next? ‘What does Normani sound like?’ I’m still trying to figure that out.

“I’m in the studio and its really cool because I talk about things that I actually wanna talk about and things that I feel genuinely, and I can finally fully be myself. I feel like, within the group, I’m so, so grateful for the process but I can speak for all of us, you’ve only been able to see a fraction of who we are individually.”

A Humble Beginning

Born in 1964 in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Brian Carson grew up in a world shaped by humble beginnings. Raised by a single mother in a low-income trailer park, his early life was marked by constant moving and making new friends. Despite the challenges, he found joy in music, which would eventually become the defining passion of his life.

The Guitar That Sparked a Journey

It was in 7th grade that Brian’s life took a pivotal turn. A classmate introduced him to the world of guitar, sparking an obsession that would shape his path forever. With a borrowed acoustic guitar, he and his friend formed their first band, and the raw passion for creating music was ignited.

A Musician Without Boundaries

Over the years, Brian has defied conventional norms, focusing not on fame or money but on the love of music itself. He’s recorded over 100 songs and toured nationally, but it’s not just about the numbers – it’s about the joy and friendships he’s made along the way. His focus on making music without pressure has allowed him to explore a wide variety of genres.

Staying True to His Passion

Despite a self-deprecating sense of humor, Brian knows what drives him. “I’m not claiming to have any kind of talent in any musical direction, but I do possess the ability to not give a shit,” he says with a grin. This attitude has allowed him to continue pursuing his passion for music, recording and performing without compromise.

A Journey of Self-Discovery

Brian’s journey is a testament to the joy that music can bring when pursued with passion, curiosity, and a genuine love for the craft. As long as he feels a pure desire to create music, he’ll continue to do so. When it ceases to be fun, he’ll be done. His story proves that it’s not about the destination – it’s about enjoying the ride.

Final Thoughts

With a career spanning decades and an attitude that embraces music for music’s sake, Brian Carson’s story is an inspiration to those who believe in the power of doing what you love without compromise. Be sure to check out his music, as this true artist’s journey is far from over.
