Tony and Grammy winner Renée Elise Goldsberry (Hamilton, Girls5Eva) will release a debut solo album, Who I Really Am, June 6. 

Blending soul, funk, blues, pop, and her gospel roots, Who I Really Am is introduced with the first single “Staring,” now available here.

"For years, I’ve poured my heart into bringing other people’s vision to life—on Broadway, in the studio, and on screen," says Goldsberry. "But this moment is mine. These songs are deeply personal—drawn from the full range of my experiences, from joy to heartbreak, and everything in between. They represent a new beginning—one I’ve been quietly building toward for a long time."

Who I Really Am will feature 13 original songs—11 written by Goldsberry—that explore love, heartbreak, creative independence, and self-discovery. Tracks will include “Don’t Want to Love You,” a spare and emotionally rich ballad written by Goldsberry’s Girls5eva co-star Sara Bareilles; and “Smiling,” an R&B-leaning goodbye anthem that Goldsberry calls, “sunshine on a bad-ass bass line.” Additionally, the record will include a new, guitar-led version of “Satisfied,” the Lin-Manuel Miranda-penned number that became Goldsberry’s signature song in Hamilton. The track was debuted by Miranda at the United Palace Theater earlier this year to kick off the celebration of Hamilton's 10th anniversary.
