If you’re looking for an R&B artist who represents the spirit and sound of Detroit, look no further than Charity Ward. Her sound, sculpted from her upbringing as a preacher’s kid, inspired her debut album in 2020, “Tended Headed.”After years as a part-time musician, and after a major collaboration with rapper Snoop Dogg on her single “Cruel,” she entered 2025 on a mission to commit to music full-time. She joined The Metro during our fall fundraiser and shared how transformative her dedication to music has been and what listeners can expect from her upcoming album.
