In 1995, Ledisi formed a band after her middle name Anibade. After unsuccessfully trying to get signed to a major label, she formed LeSun Records with Sundra Manning. She released her debut album ''Soulsinger'' (2000), which featured the single "Take Time", which gained substantial airplay from San Francisco area radio stations. In 2002, Ledisi released her second album, ''Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue'', which won "Outstanding Jazz Album" at the California Music Awards in 2003. In 2006, Ledisi signed a record deal with Verve Forecast and released her third album, titled ''Lost & Found'' (2007). The album earned her two Grammy nominations, including one for Best New Artist. She released six more albums on Verve: ''It's Christmas'' (2008), ''Turn Me Loose'' (2009), ''Pieces of Me'' (2011), ''The Truth'' (2014), ''The Intimate Truth'' (2015), and ''Let Love Rule'' (2017).
In 2020, Ledisi formed her own record label Listen Back Entertainment and released her album ''The Wild Card''. The album's single "Anything for You" won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. She released three more albums on her label including ''Ledisi Live at The Troubadour'' (2021), ''Ledisi Sings Nina'' (2021), and ''Good Life'' (2024).
Aside from music, Ledisi has embarked a career in film and television as an actress. She portrayed gospel icon Mahalia Jackson in the films ''Selma'' (2014) and ''Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story'' (2022). Other roles include a guest appearance as Patti LaBelle in the BET docudrama ''American Soul'', a cameo appearance as a choir member in the FX drama ''Pose'' (both 2020), as well as co-starring as Gladys Knight in the film ''Spinning Gold'' (2023). She is also starred in her first Hallmark original movie ''All Saints Christmas'' (2022). Provided by Wikipedia
