Tony Award winner Renée Elise Goldsberry is taking a momentous step in her career with the announcement of her first-ever studio album. The Broadway sensation revealed exclusively to PEOPLE on Friday, April 25, that her debut album titled “Who I Really Am” will be released on Friday, June 6.
The news comes as the multi-talented performer appears poised to introduce a new musical dimension to fans who’ve primarily known her through her acclaimed theatrical and television performances.
A New Chapter In Music
For Goldsberry, who won a Tony Award for her unforgettable portrayal of Angelica Schuyler in the groundbreaking musical “Hamilton,” this album represents a significant personal milestone. The title “Who I Really Am” suggests a deeply personal project that may reveal new facets of the performer beyond her well-known stage personas.
Building Musical Momentum
This album announcement follows several recent hints about Goldsberry’s musical activities. Just days before the album reveal, she posted about her upcoming single “Staring,” which will be released on April 25. The song appears to be a romantic tribute, as she captioned the announcement with: “I knew he was fine when I met him. I’m still STARING.”
Fans have also been treated to glimpses of her preparation process, with Goldsberry sharing behind-the-scenes moments from show preparations. In a post from earlier in April, she teased: “My first single drops NEXT WEEK — 4/25/25!” while also inviting fans to catch her performing live at the Carpenter Center on Saturday, April 26.
From Broadway To Recording Studio
While primarily known for her stage work, Goldsberry has been building toward this musical release for some time. In a winter reflection post, she hinted at the completion of this project, writing: “FINISHED my ALBUM! More on that soon…”
Goldsberry’s remarkable talent has been evident throughout her extensive career. She has built an impressive résumé that includes standout performances in Broadway hits like “Rent,” “The Color Purple,” “The Lion King,” and of course, “Hamilton,” for which she received both Tony and Grammy Awards.
Her television work has been equally impressive, with roles in popular series including “Girls5eva,” “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” “Evil,” “The Good Wife,” and “Altered Carbon.”
Maintaining Broadway Connections
Even as she expands into recorded music, Goldsberry maintains strong ties to the Broadway community. She’s been celebrating the 10th anniversary of Hamilton (dubbed “HamilTEN”) by sharing behind-the-scenes vlogs from her time with the groundbreaking production. Recently, she expressed excitement about her former co-star Leslie Odom Jr.’s return to the show, writing: “I will be in the audience, cheering the loudest!”
Live Performance Opportunities
Her recent New York City performance at the PAC NYC gave fans a preview of what to expect, with Goldsberry sharing: “Playing NYC on a Saturday night!… Feeling lucky to be alive in the greatest city in the world!”
Goldsberry’s musical journey comes at a time when she’s also celebrating personal milestones, including her daughter turning 12, which she mentioned in her winter reflection post.
For an artist who has consistently demonstrated versatility and excellence across multiple performance mediums, this debut album represents an exciting new chapter that will allow fans to experience yet another dimension of her remarkable talent.
