Well he has a point. A lot of gospel and secular artists cite Brandy as a vocal influence. Brandy’s style of singing is very popular in the millennial/Gen Z gospel arena. Aja from The Walls Group sounds exactly like Brandy.

Brandy does cite Kim Burrell as an influence but Brandy’s major influences that you hear most in her vocals are Whitney and MJ. Brandy had her signature sound before Kim released her debut album in 1998. Even though Brandy’s debut was very Whitney inspired.
